Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar Sees Tepid Advance Booking
The advance booking numbers for Dhurandhar, featuring Ranveer Singh, have come in quieter than many expected. Early ticket sales suggest the film is not generating the usual pre-release rush that big-star projects often enjoy.
Why are advance bookings slow?
- Competition: Other releases and ongoing streaming content may be dividing audience attention.
- Marketing and buzz: The film’s promotions haven’t converted into strong pre-release curiosity in some areas.
- Mixed expectations: Trailers and early reactions may not have landed strongly with certain segments of the audience.
- Timing and pricing: Show timings and ticket prices also play a role in how aggressively people book early.
What this could mean for the opening weekend
Slower advance sales don’t always spell disaster. A strong opening day through walk-ins, positive word-of-mouth and good reviews can still lift weekend collections. However, a weak pre-booking trend does make the first 24–48 hours crucial for the film’s momentum.
What to watch
- Day-one occupancy and opening day gross.
- Social media buzz and audience reactions after first shows.
- Weekend trend—whether collections pick up or taper off.
- Performance in multiplexes versus single screens and smaller cities.
With Ranveer Singh’s star power, Dhurandhar still has room to surprise. The coming days will show whether the film can convert curiosity into box-office success or struggles to gain traction.
