Enjoys historic response in paid previews
The Dhurandhar sequel had insane pre-release buzz everywhere, and it was clear from advance bookings. The makers decided to capitalize on this buzz and opted for the paid previews. The decision turned out to be a jackpot as the film minted a historic 43 crore net through paid previews alone. Since these numbers have been included in the opening day collections of the magnum opus, the start has set new benchmarks.

All thanks to a mind-blowing 50 crore+ opening-day pre-sales and strong over-the-counter ticket sales, Dhurandhar 2 has pulled off an unbelievable 145 crore net (estimates) at the Indian box office on its day 1.
