Including the South-dubbed versions, the figure stands at Rs. Increases to. Around Rs 19 crore nett. Over 4.50 lakh tickets had been sold till this morning, of which 2.70 lakh came from the two national chains (PVRINOX and Cinepolis).
If Preview had maintained the sales exclusivity today, they would have crossed Rs. Net mark of 20 crores. However, sales are now open for the remainder of the weekend, which may slow down the pace of previews; Its extent remains to be seen. Meanwhile, sales for the weekend have also started picking up, with ticket booking platform BookMyShow reporting sales of over 10 thousand tickets per hour. This number is only going to increase as awareness of sales increases during the day.
There is no doubt that the pre-sales of the film are going to be great. It is all set to set new records for Bollywood pre-sales. The only question is how far it can extend those numbers and what kind of records it can set. A key advance metric that revolves around the industry is the national chain advance. The record for first day growth in these series for a Bollywood film is held by ‘Pathan’ (Hindi), which sold 545,000 tickets on its opening day. The overall record is held by Avengers: Endgame, which bombed with sales of over a million.
Dhurandhar: The Revenge may have obliterated the record of Pathan (Hindi) and may even rival Avengers: Endgame. However, with the preview expected to consume over 5 lakh tickets, this may be difficult to do now. Of course, combined with the previews, it can still do this.
More details about the pre-sale will be available later in the day.
