Dhurandhar 2 Vs Toxic Advance Booking: The battle for the box office countdown begins for the year’s biggest cinematic showdown. On March 19, 2026, two of Indian cinema’s most talked about movie Dhurandhar 2 and Toxic will go head-to-head. While the domestic hype is reaching a fever pitch, early advance booking reports from the United States suggest a massive initial gap between the two blockbusters.
Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar 2 US Advance Booking
Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar 2 The Revenge has hit the ground running in the North American market. According to the latest data from trade experts, the Aditya Dhar directorial has already sold approximately 1,953 tickets across 151 locations. This early surge has resulted in a gross of $33,723. The film’s strong start is partly due to its wider initial release, with 209 shows already scheduled for its premiere night.
As a sequel to the 2025 mega-hit that grossed over Rs 1,300 crore worldwide, expectations for Dhurandhar 2 are sky-high. The story continues the journey of Hamza (Ranveer Singh), an Indian spy on a dangerous mission in Pakistan. The film also boasts a powerhouse supporting cast, including R. Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, and Arjun Rampal.

Yash’s Toxic US Advance Booking
Meanwhile, Yash’s highly anticipated gangster saga, Toxic, has seen a more modest start in the US. The Geetu Mohandas directorial has collected $3,665 so far, selling 189 tickets across 81 locations. While these numbers are currently ten times lower than its rival, industry insiders suggest it is too early to call the race.
Toxic is Yash’s first major release since the record-breaking KGF Chapter 2, and his global fan base has grown exponentially since then. The movie features Nayanthara as Ganga, Kiara Advani as Nadia, Huma Qureshi as Elizabeth, Tara Sutaria as Rebecca and Rukmini Vasanth as Mellisa. Toxic has been filmed concurrently in Kannada and English, with dubbed versions planned in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and several other languages, highlighting its global ambition.
One notable factor for both films is their extensive runtimes. Dhurandhar 2 clocks in at a lengthy 3 hours and 40 minutes, while Toxic follows closely at 3 hours and 15 minutes.
