Dhurandhar advance bookings muted: Ranveer Singh’s upcoming film, Dhurandhar, is only days away from its release.

However, the advance booking for the film has now slowed down.

The film has one more day before its big debut in theatres.

Dhurandhar is backed by Jyoti Deshpande, Aditya Dhar, and Lokesh Dhar under Jio Studios and B62 Studios.
