Ranveer Singh and Yash’s films: Box office clash

New Delhi: Ranveer Singh’s ‘Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge’ and Yash’s ‘Toxic’ are going to hit the theaters on March 19, 2026. Even before the release, an interesting competition is being seen between these two films.

There are only 17 days left for the release, but early advance booking figures in the US are showing Ranveer’s film far ahead. ‘Dhurandhar 2’ has left ‘Toxic’ behind, which has increased the excitement among the audience.

Big difference in advance booking in America

According to the latest data from trade analysts and Venky Box Office, ‘Dhurandhar 2’ has taken a great start for the premiere shows in the US. The film grossed US$33,723 from 1,953 tickets sold in 209 shows in 151 theaters. At the same time, Yash’s ‘Toxic’ has sold only 189 tickets in 122 shows in 81 theatres, earning $3,665.

This means that ‘Dhurandhar 2’ has sold almost 9 to 10 times more tickets than ‘Toxic’. There has been a 159% jump in the bookings of ‘Dhurandhar 2’ in the last 24 hours, while the bookings of ‘Toxic’ are growing at a slow pace.

The first film of ‘Dhurandhar 2’ performed brilliantly at the box office, earning $21 million in the US-Canada. In this sequel, Ranveer Singh will again be seen in the role of Hamza, who works as an Indian spy in Pakistan. The film includes big stars like Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan and Sara Arjun. It is presented as an action-packed spy thriller.

Whereas, ‘Toxic’ is a unique gangster drama, in which Yash will be seen in three different roles. It also stars Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Tara Sutaria and Huma Qureshi. Director Geetu Mohandas has described it as a ‘fairy tale for grown-ups’. After the success of KGF series, the audience’s expectations from Yash have increased a lot, but the base of Kannada films in America is not yet strong.

Advance booking has just started and more shows and theaters of both the films will be added in the coming days. The situation may change due to publicity, trailer and audience reaction. ‘Dhurandhar 2’ has taken the initial lead, but ‘Toxic’ may also catch up quickly.

This fight will be one of the biggest box office clashes of Indian cinema. Ranveer Singh’s film has left superstar Yash behind in America so far, but the real battle will be seen in theaters on March 19.
