Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar Advance Booking Update: Cities, Predictions, Runtime & OTT Details

Mumbai, November 30, 2025 — The wait is finally over for Ranveer Singh fans. The advance booking for his massive spy thriller, Dhurandhar, has officially started. While the full-scale booking will open soon, limited tickets are already available in select cinema chains.

Dhurandhar Limited Advance Booking Begins

If you are planning to watch the first show of Dhurandhar, you might want to check your booking apps right now. Quietly, the makers have opened ticket counters in select cities.

Advance booking has started in specific PVR and INOX properties across major metro cities. However, many fans are still unaware because the rollout is very limited. The same report suggests that full-fledged booking for all theatres will likely go live by Sunday evening or Monday morning (December 1).

This strategy creates a lot of curiosity. The movie is set to release this Friday, December 5, 2025.

Dhurandhar Runtime and Censor Rating Revealed

Before you book your tickets, you should know that this is a long movie. Dhurandhar is one of the longest Bollywood films in recent times.

As per BookMyShow, the first part of the film has a runtime of approximately 3 hours and 32 minutes. This is quite rare for modern Hindi movies. Also, the film has received an ‘A’ certificate (Adults Only) from the censor board. This is due to strong violence and intense action scenes.

Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar Box Office Predictions: A Strong Start?

Trade experts are predicting a good opening day for the film. The trailer has created a solid buzz on social media.

According to Our Trade Experts, Dhurandhar is expected to earn between ₹16 crore to ₹22 crore on its first day at the Indian box office. If this happens, it will be the biggest opening for Ranveer Singh in the post-pandemic era. The film is riding high on the success of its trailer and the reputation of director Aditya Dhar.

However, Pinkvilla has a slightly more conservative estimate. They predict an opening in the range of ₹12 crore to ₹16 crore. They believe the genre is popular, but the long runtime might limit the number of shows a theatre can run in a single day.

Star Cast and Story

The movie features a massive ensemble cast. Along with Ranveer Singh, you will see heavyweights like:

• Sanjay Dutt
• Akshaye Khanna
• R. Madhavan
• Arjun Rampal

Ranveer plays a RAW agent on a dangerous mission in Pakistan. The story is a gritty spy thriller. Director Aditya Dhar, who made the blockbuster Uri: The Surgical Strike, returns to the director’s chair for this project.

Legal Trouble Before Release

The movie is also facing some legal heat just days before release. The parents of late Major Mohit Sharma have filed a petition in the Delhi High Court.

As reported by The Economic Times, the parents allege that the film exploits their son’s life and martyrdom without permission. They have asked for a stay on the release. However, director Aditya Dhar has clarified that the film is not a biopic of Major Mohit Sharma.

OTT Release Plans

If you miss the film in theatres, you will have to wait a bit. The movie will not stream online immediately.

Reports suggest that Netflix has bought the digital rights. The film is expected to stream on Netflix starting January 30, 2026, which is about eight weeks after its theatrical release.

Opinion & Methodology

The “Risk vs. Reward” Factor

This news update is based on the early ticketing trends observed on BookMyShow and Paytm Movies as of the morning of November 30, 2025.

In my opinion, Dhurandhar is playing a risky game. A 3.5-hour runtime restricts the show count significantly. For example, where a 2-hour movie gets 5 shows a day, Dhurandhar might only get 3. This means each show must have a very high occupancy to hit that ₹20 crore mark.

However, the “A” rating is actually a positive sign for action lovers. It promises unfiltered, raw action like Animal, which worked wonders at the box office recently. If the “Word of Mouth” (WOM) is positive on Friday afternoon, the night shows will see a massive jump. Ranveer Singh needs a hit, and Aditya Dhar knows the pulse of the nation. This combo looks ready to explode, but the length is the only speed breaker.
