After a three-and-a-half-month wait, 'Dhurandhar 2' has finally hit theaters, and audience anticipation has translated into impressive advance bookings. The film had a stunning start at the box office with its preview shows held on the evening of March 18, ahead of its official release date on March 19. The previews alone generated over ₹42 crore in gross collection, setting a new record that outperformed the preview collection of 'Stree 2'.

Despite the enthusiastic response, the preview shows experienced several hiccups due to content delivery delays from the film's makers. Reports indicate that multiple theaters faced issues, resulting in some screening cancellations and interruptions, where shows could not proceed past intermission or faced reduced showings. These operational challenges highlight the logistical difficulties that can arise even with a highly anticipated release.

Overall, 'Dhurandhar 2's' record-setting opening previews reflect the high level of excitement and interest among the audience for this sequel, following the success of 'Dhurandhar'. With strong box office performance anticipated, the film seems poised for a successful run, while the issues faced during previews will serve as a reminder of the complexities involved in a major film release.
