Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge Beats Pushpa 2's All-Time Record On BookMyShow

Mumbai, March 19 - Ranveer Singh-fronted Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has begun its box office journey to become one of the top three highest-grossing Indian films of all-time, and in this process, it has shattered a record on the online ticketing platform, Book My Show. As per the latest update, the film clocked a staggering 109K tickets sold in just one hour, surpassing the previous record held by Pushpa 2: The Rule, which had peaked at around 107.60K tickets per hour on BMS. This makes Dhurandhar 2 the fastest-selling film in terms of hourly ticket sales on the platform. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) This milestone highlights the unprecedented demand for Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, which has been dominating advance bookings across the country. The surge in ticket sales reflects massive audience anticipation, not just in metro cities but also in smaller centres where shows are filling up at lightning speed. Dhurandhar 2 earlier had the record paid previews in India with over 50 crores gross collection, and now, it is on course to put the biggest pure day 1 for a Bollywood title. This record is particularly significant because it showcases real-time demand rather than cumulative numbers, making it a stronger indicator of hype and audience urgency. The 109K/hour figure places Dhurandhar 2 in a league of its own, signalling a potentially historic opening at the box office. Stay tuned...

Ustaad Bhagat Singh Pre-Release Theatrical Business and Break-Even Target

Hyderabad, March 17 - Superstar Pawan Kalyan-fronted much-awaited Ustaad Bhagat Singh is gearing up for a massive theatrical release, and its pre-release business has set the tone for its box office journey. The film has secured a strong deal across key territories, reflecting solid demand in the trade circle. The Telugu states business has been locked at 105+ crores, including 35 crores in Nizam, 16 crores for Ceded, while the Andhra territories are collectively valued at 55 crores. Beyond the home market, the film has reportedly done a business of about 8.5 crore in the rest of India, while overseas rights have been sold for roughly 12.5 crore. The total worldwide business is around 126+ crore. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The film's break-even target is estimated to be around 200 crore gross worldwide. This sets a clear benchmark for the film's theatrical performance, requiring a strong run to recover investments and enter the profit zone. While the target is substantial, the relatively controlled pricing provides a safer cushion compared to heavily inflated deals seen in recent times. With Pawan Kalyan's massive fan base and the film's strong buzz, expectations are high for a powerful opening, especially in the Telugu states. However, sustaining momentum beyond the initial days will depend largely on audience reception and word-of-mouth. If the content connects well, Ustaad Bhagat Singh has the potential to comfortably cross its break-even mark and emerge as a successful venture at the box office. Stay tuned...
