With strong advance bookings and high audience interest, the film is already on track to become one of the biggest openers of 2026.
Record-Breaking Paid Previews Boost Opening Momentum
The biggest reason behind the film’s explosive start is its paid previews on March 18, 2026.
- Total shows: 12,292
- Occupancy rate: 46.7%
- Earnings: ₹44.00 crore
This is one of the highest preview collections ever in India.
By early morning on Day 1 (March 19), the film added:
- ₹7.14 crore from 8,928 shows
👉 Total early Day 1 collection: ₹51.14 crore net
👉 Gross collection: ₹52.71 crore
This strong start clearly shows massive audience demand across India.
Language-Wise Box Office Breakdown
The Hindi version is leading the box office performance:
- Hindi: ₹6.92 crore (8,086 shows)
- Telugu: ₹0.19 crore (324 shows)
- Tamil: ₹0.03 crore (435 shows)
While Hindi dominates, more shows are expected to open in South India later in the day, which may increase collections further.
Dhurandhar Beats OG and Stree 2 Records
The film has broken previous premiere records by a huge margin.
- Previous record: They Call Him OG – ₹25 crore gross
- Dhurandhar: ₹50+ crore gross
That’s almost double the previous record.
In Bollywood:
- Stree 2 preview record: ₹10 crore
- Dhurandhar: ~₹50 crore
This means the film earned 5X more than the previous Bollywood record, making it a historic milestone.
Impact of Cancellations and Refunds
Some international and dubbed shows were cancelled due to technical issues. As a result:
- A small portion of revenue will be refunded
- Final preview numbers may slightly decrease
However, this will not impact the overall success. The film still holds a record-breaking opening.
Will Dhurandhar Cross ₹100 Crore on Day 1?
Early trends suggest the film could touch or even cross ₹100 crore on its first full day.
Reasons:
- Strong advance booking
- High occupancy in metro cities
- Positive audience buzz
- Wide release (21,000+ shows)
The film is now one of the strongest contenders for the biggest opening of 2026.
