Dhurandhar Day 1 Early Update: How Ranveer Singh’s Spy-Drama Opened
Early trends for Dhurandhar show a respectable opening for Ranveer Singh’s high-octane spy-drama. The film has drawn solid footfall in urban multiplexes while smaller centres are showing steady but quieter interest.
Morning and Matinee Trend
Morning and matinee shows were decent, with good occupancy in metros. Weekend-morning audiences seemed curious about the action sequences and Ranveer’s energetic performance, which helped pull in the first wave of viewers.
Evening Shows and Multiplex Response
Evenings saw the best traction, especially in major cities where lifestyle audiences prefer big-screen spectacle. Multiplex chains reported higher ticket rates for premium formats, boosting the early revenue picture.
