In an unprecedented feat for an Indian film in the United States, ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’ is drawing massive crowds and rewriting box office expectations. The sequel to the blockbuster ‘Dhurandhar’ has emerged as a cultural and commercial phenomenon, particularly across North American cineplexes.
According to early reports, the film is being screened at exceptionally high frequency—approximately every 30 minutes in several multiplexes—resulting in near sold-out shows throughout the day. This level of saturation marks one of the widest and most aggressive exhibition strategies ever deployed for an Indian film in the U.S.
Financially, the film has already made a strong impact. With paid preview screenings alone, ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’ has grossed an estimated $2 million in the United States, signaling robust audience demand ahead of its full theatrical run.
The momentum builds on the legacy of its predecessor, which premiered in December and shattered multiple box office records. Industry analysts now project that the sequel is poised to surpass opening-day benchmarks, with expectations of crossing ₹100 crore globally—an achievement that would set a new standard for Indian cinema.
Despite its nearly four-hour runtime, the film has resonated strongly with audiences. Viewers have responded enthusiastically to its scale, storytelling, and performances, with reports of packed theaters, long queues, and applause during screenings underscoring its reception.
Directed and written by Aditya Dhar and headlined by Ranveer Singh, the sequel has quickly established itself as a major cinematic event. If early trends continue, ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’ appears well on track to dominate the box office in the days ahead.
