Dhurandhar advance booking: Ranveer Sungh’s Dhurandhar is just two days away from release, but ticket sales are not booming as loudly as they should. With barely 40 hours to go before the first show, the pace of advance bookings for the Aditya Dhar film has slowed considerably, resulting in a significant loss of momentum for the spy thriller. This puts the ambitious film at risk of getting a subpar opening at the box office.
Dhurandhar advance booking collections
The advance bookings for Dhurandhar opened on Monday, and the film coasted past the ₹1 crore mark in a few hours. However, since then, the pace of sales has declined significantly. As of Wednesday afternoon, Dhurandhar has sold just 50,000 tickets across India on about 3000 screens. Its total gross for day 1 stands at a paltry ₹2.30 crore. The film’s advance bookings are expected to pick up pace as more screens open up in the remainder of Wednesday and Thursday, but the lack of momentum may ultimately hurt the final number.
As of Wednesday, 1 pm, the film is selling about 1500 tickets per hour on the ticketing platform BookMyShow. This is a low figure for a hugely anticipated film set to release in 2 days. For instance, Tere Ishk Mein, a film already running in theatres, is still selling tickets at a rate three times higher each hour on the platform. In the past, films of Dhurandhar’s scale have sold as many as 15-20k tickets per hour on BookMyShow before release. The makers of the film would hope that Dhurandhar hits the mark sometime on Thursday if they hope to set themselves up for a solid opening.
Summary
Ranveer Singh’s film Dhurandhar saw a strong start in advance bookings but momentum has sharply declined, raising concerns about its box-office performance. The sudden slowdown could impact opening weekend numbers unless the film picks up closer to release.
