March 19 was engraved for a huge box office clash as both Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar 2 (The Revenge) and Yash's Toxic were scheduled for their theatrical releases. However, with 15 days to go, the Yash-starrer Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups has officially been postponed from its original release date to a new date of June 4, 2026. Meanwhile, Dhurandhar 2 has already outperformed Toxic in advance booking in North America.
How much Dhurandhar 2 already earned in North America?

In North America, Dhurandhar 2 has witnessed an impressive response, fuelled by the strong recall of its predecessor. According to Venky Box Office, the film has amassed $33.7K in advance bookings, marking a sharp 159% spike in sales over the past 24 hours. The show count has also expanded to 209.

The film’s show count has climbed to 122, reflecting a steady, though measured, uptick in activity over the last 24 hours. As of now, approximately 189 tickets have been sold on the American circuit. However, Toxic, now, has been officially postponed to June 4, 2026.
What to expect from Dhurandhar: The Revenge?
Dhurandhar 2 (or Dhurandhar: The Revenge), directed by Aditya Dhar and set for release around March 19, 2026, continues the intense espionage saga. The film follows Indian agent Jaskirat/Hamza (Ranveer Singh) deeper into Pakistan’s underworld and intelligence circles (ISI) to take down high-stakes targets, including Major Iqbal.
The sequel picks up directly after the first film, with Hamza Ali Mazari (Ranveer Singh) fully embedded in Karachi's criminal underworld. Hamza, guided by IB Director Ajay Sanyal (R. Madhavan), focuses on dismantling terror networks, specifically targeting ISI’s Major Iqbal. The storyline involves intense personal, political, and criminal struggles, in which Hamza faces threats from rival factions and corrupt officials in Karachi.
