Living up to its hype, Dhurandhar 2 amassed an estimated 44 crore net at the Indian box office through paid previews. It equals a whopping 51.92 crore gross. From such an epic collection, a staggering 43 crore gross came from advance bookings alone, indicating the urgency among the audience. With this, it also surpassed the entire day 1 collection of Dhurandhar, which stands at 28.6 crore net.
Creates an all-time record by beating OG
With 44 crore net, Dhurandhar 2 has registered the highest-ever paid previews collections for an Indian film, overtaking Pawan Kalyan’s OG. For those who don’t know, OG amassed 21 crore net from paid previews, and, by comparison, the Ranveer Singh starrer made 109.52% higher collections than OG.
Among Bollywood films, Stree 2 held the record for the highest paid previews collection with 9.4 crore net, and the latest Bollywood magnum opus surpassed it by 368.08%.
