Aditya Dhar and Ranveer Singh’s first film, ‘Dhurandhar’, It is going to be released in theaters across the world this Friday. This spy thriller has a strong ensemble cast and its trailer has also been highly appreciated. All these things have created a lot of buzz for the film, however, in the last few days, the pre-sale of the film has not gained much momentum. In such a situation, how many crores can this film open, know the opinion of trade experts.
Advance booking collection of ‘Dhurandhar’
Advance booking of ‘Dhurandhar’ started on Monday and within some time the film had crossed the Rs 1 crore mark. But after that, its pre-ticket sales slowed down. As of 12 noon on Thursday, according to the data of the film’s website, 58 thousand 801 tickets have been pre-sold across the country. With this, the film has earned Rs 2.59 crore without block seats, whereas with block seats its earning has become Rs 4.24 crore. The advance booking figures are expected to increase further by night.
How many crores can ‘Dhurandhar’ open with?
According to Hindustan Times report, till a few weeks ago, many were predicting that ‘Dhurandhar’ would surpass ‘Chhaava’ and ‘War 2’ (Hindi version) with the biggest opening of any Hindi film this year. However, considering the current situation, opening more than Rs 25 crore now seems quite difficult. Trade experts estimate that ‘Dhurandhar’ will earn Rs 18-20 crore in India on its first day, some are even estimating around Rs 15 crore. Either way, the film will be nowhere near the two highest opening Hindi films of this year – ‘Sayara’ (21.50 crore) and ‘Chhaava’ (31 crore). Ranbir Kapoor’s ‘Animal’, which is often considered a ‘competitor’ to Dhurandhar, is far ahead in 2023 with a record opening of Rs 64 crore.
Will Ranveer become the biggest opener after Covid?
Trade analysts expect that there will be a significant increase in the booking of the film by Thursday night. Currently, ‘Dhurandhar’ will easily surpass the Rs 12 crore nett opening of Ranveer Singh’s ’83’, making it Ranveer Singh’s biggest opener after the pandemic.
