Dhurandhar 2 The Revenge Set to Challenge Premiere Records of All Time Greats
Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge Set to Challenge Premiere Records of All-Time Greats As the Indian box office landscape continues to evolve, the "Premiere Show" (Paid Previews) has become the new benchmark for a film's hype and initial pull. Following the monumental success of the first installment, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is currently on a record-shattering spree, challenging the legacy figures set by pan-Indian juggernauts like Pushpa 2, KGF 2, and the undisputed king of openings, Baahubali 2. While Baahubali 2 continues to hold the all-time North American premiere record at $4.3M, Dhurandhar 2 has already crossed the ₹30 crore gross mark in domestic paid previews and is eyeing a massive $2M+ premiere in the USA, putting it in direct competition with recent hits like Pushpa 2.
