Actor Ranveer Singh made a high-energy appearance at the music launch event of ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’ in Mumbai on Tuesday night, drawing thunderous cheers from fans as excitement builds ahead of the film's theatrical release on March 19.

Videos circulating online from the March 17 event captured the actor's electrifying entry, with the crowd erupting in applause as he walked onto the stage.

Clearly overwhelmed by the response, Singh greeted fans warmly and took a moment to absorb the atmosphere created by the film's growing buzz.

Directed by Aditya Dhar, ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’ is poised for a record-breaking run at the box office, with strong advance bookings and robust paid preview sales boosting confidence among exhibitors.

The film, arriving just months after the success of its first instalment, has already sold over four lakh tickets for its paid previews, which begin on Wednesday from 5pm.

Can ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’ break records and cross Rs 1,000 crore at the box office?

“I hope it breaks the record of Dhurandhar one and hope it turns out to be the first film to cross Rs. 1,000 crore net box office in Hindi, besides, the contribution from dubbed versions of Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam. I hope that’s an addition to Rs. 1,000 crore,” Kamal Gianchandani, Chief Business Planning & Strategy, PVR INOX Limited, told PTI.

During his interaction with the audience, Singh turned the spotlight on the franchise's music, asking fans about their favourite songs from the first ‘Dhurandhar’ film.

The crowd shouted out popular tracks from the movie. Responding to the varied choices, Singh said the diversity of fan favourites is what makes the franchise special.

"See, this is what makes it special. Everyone has different favourites," he said, thanking the audience for their enthusiasm.
