The box office battle between Ranveer Singh and Pawan Kalyan is already heating up ahead of their films’ premieres in North America. With around 10 days left before release, advance booking numbers from the United States are giving an early indication of audience interest. While both films have generated strong buzz among fans, the early figures suggest a clear leader in the overseas market.Dhurandhar 2, starring Ranveer Singh, is currently racing far ahead ofUstaad Bhagat Singh, headlined by Pawan Kalyan, in terms of advance ticket sales across North America.
According to early tracking reports by Venky Box Office,Dhurandhar: The Revengehas posted massive advance booking numbers in the US. The film has already sold approximately38,545 tickets across 557 locations and 1,034 shows, generating an impressive$618,911 in premiere advance sales. The momentum does not stop there.

Dhurandhar 2 Vs Ustaad Bhagat Singh
The film’s occupancies continue to rise steadily and with more 10 days still left before it premieres, industry analysts believeDhurandhar 2could push even higher and potentially set new benchmarks for advance bookings in its category.
On the other hand, Pawan Kalyan’sUstaad Bhagat Singhhas had a more modest but still respectable start in the US market. The film has sold2,280 tickets across 151 locations and 508 shows, earning$56,339 in premiere advance salesso far. When accounting for total North American premiere advances, the number climbs slightly to about$62,000.
The film’s booking numbers may rise further as additional show listings open. Several AMC theatres have already listed shows for the film, though some of them are not yet available for booking. As more theatres activate their ticket sales, the overall advance figures could increase in the coming days. However, in this March 19 clash between the two films,Dhurandhar 2is currently leading by a mile.
Pawan Kalyan In Ustaad Bhagat Singh
While the overseas numbers currently favourDhurandhar 2, the domestic box office performance in India is also drawing significant attention. As per Sacnilk, the second part of the 2025 filmDhurandharhas already recordedapproximately Rs 12.29 crore in advance bookings across all languagesin the domestic market. When blocked seats are included, the total climbs to a strongRs18.1 crore.
The Hindi version is leading the charge, contributing over Rs 12.07 crore to the total advance bookings. Meanwhile, the South Indian markets, including Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam, are also showing steady traction, though the majority of the early demand remains concentrated in the Hindi belt.
With 10 days still remaining before the premieres, the big question is whetherDhurandhar: The Revengecan break the Rs 25 crore paid preview record set byOG, which interestingly also starred Pawan Kalyan. If the current pace continues, the Ranveer Singh-starrer could be heading toward a massive opening both domestically and internationally.
