The film's strong start is expected to continue, with multiplexes introducing a premium ticket category, Super Blockbuster Plus, priced up to Rs 2,500.
Dhurandhar 2 is the sequel to the successful Dhurandhar, which earned Rs 838.5 crore in India and Rs 1,303.35 crore worldwide. The film brings back Ranveer Singh, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, and Rakesh Bedi, and continues the story of an undercover Indian intelligence agent.
