Ranveer Singh's upcoming action thriller Dhurandhar: The Revenge is generating significant buzz following the release of its trailer. The film, directed by Aditya Dhar, is set to hit theatres on March 19, with its digital premiere confirmed for Hotstar. Advance bookings indicate strong pre-release interest, while scheduling avoids a clash with Yash's Toxic.
The sequel to the 2025 spy-action film Dhurandhar, which premiered on Netflix after its December theatrical run, expands Aditya Dhar's universe. Backed by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, Dhurandhar: The Revenge stars Ranveer Singh in dual roles as Jaskirat Singh Rangi and Hamza Ali Mazari. The trailer teases deeper exploration of mysteries from the first installment, including Jaskirat's transformation into Hamza, the identity of Sher-e-Baloch, and the next phase of Mission Dhurandhar.
R. Madhavan's character, Ajay Sanyal, receives expanded focus, training Jaskirat in advanced espionage and combat. The storyline intensifies a power struggle in Karachi following Rehman Dakait's death, with Uzair Baloch seeking control of Lyari. The film will release worldwide in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada.
Advance bookings have collected approximately Rs 12.29 crore across all languages domestically, rising to Rs 18.1 crore including blocked seats, per trade tracker Sacnilk. This momentum follows an aggressive marketing campaign, with the trailer garnering millions of views and trending on platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and X.
Originally slated to clash with Yash's Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, directed by Geetu Mohandas, the release benefits from Toxic's postponement to June 4 due to Middle East tensions. Yash has expressed no enmity toward Dhurandhar: The Revenge and is looking forward to the Ranveer Singh starrer. The film's pan-India appeal features high-end visual effects and large-scale action sequences, positioning it as a major Bollywood contender.
