Dhurandhar 2 Review, Box Office Collection & Everything You Need to Know

Released: 19th March 2026 | Director: Aditya Dhar | Cast: Ranveer Singh, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, Sara Arjun, Yami Gautam | Rating: 4.5/5

Wonder whether Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is as good as the impossible demands that Dhurandhar 1 made it out to be? It is. Aditya Dhar has created a movie that does not resemble a sequel. It has the sense of a build-up of tension, of size, of emotion, and of pure cinematic daring. Ranveer Singh, as Jaskirat Singh Rangi undercover as Hamza Ali Mazari within the criminal underworld of Karachi, gives the best performance of his life. That is not hyperbole. Watch it and then disagree.

Dhurandhar 2 Box Office Collection 

Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge became the first Bollywood film to gross over ₹200 crore in advance sales, joining Pushpa 2, Leo, RRR, and Baahubali 2 as films achieving this milestone. During Day 0 paid previews, the movie earned ₹43 crore net in India (Hindi only) and ₹22.25 crore overseas.

The film's opening weekend pre-sales worldwide neared the ₹300 crore mark, with India's opening weekend pre-sales at ₹160 crore gross.

On Day 1, Dhurandhar 2 collected a net of ₹102.55 crore across 21,728 shows, confirming the ₹100 crore projection and becoming 2026's biggest opener.

Including the ₹43 crore paid previews, the Day 0+1 combined collection reached ₹145.55 crore net – the biggest opening in Hindi cinema history. Worldwide Day 1 gross stood at ₹236.63 crore, with India gross at ₹172.63 crore.

What the Film Is About

Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is a sequel to Ranveer Singh's Jaskirat Singh Rangi who is back on a deep-cover mission in Pakistan, this time tracking the rise of Mazari, a Karachi underworld gangster. The plot of the story continues right where the previous Dhurandhar 1 cliffhanger left off, and Aditya Dhar does not take long to make it clear that this is a larger, more pessimistic, and more emotionally layered chapter.

The antagonist, Akshaye Khanna is the type of casting that leaves you wondering why this took this long. Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan and Sara Arjun all reappear with much bigger roles. The introduction of Yami Gautam into the cast is a twist and the film takes advantage of it.

Runtime, Certificate and Release Information

Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is certified to last a final 229 minutes and 6 seconds, or about 3 hours and 49 minutes, and is about 15 minutes longer than the original film. It has received a strong violence, intense action and mature certificate by the CBFC.

The movie was released in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam at the same time as the original film, which had a pan-Indian release in Hindi, as a result of the great popularity of the first film with South Indian audiences.

BookMyShow & INOX/PVR Ticket Booking

BookMyShow recorded more than 5 lakh users showing interest in Dhurandhar 2 before release and unprecedented demand with midnight and 24-hour shows being added to PVR and INOX multiplexes in Mumbai, Pune and Ahmedabad. Those who have not reserved yet can look forward to houseful boards at the majority of premier screens during the opening weekend.

On BookMyShow, as well as at the counter of PVR and INOX, tickets are sold. Most major cities have added early morning and late-night shows to manage overflow demand.

Is It Better Than Dhurandhar 1?

Dhurandhar 1, which released on 5th December 2025, was the highest-grossing Hindi movie in India, with just about 900 crore net in the domestic market alone. It spent 100 days in theatres, a feat uncommon during the post-pandemic period, despite being on Netflix.

Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is another type of film. The first one was a gradual awakening of the eyes, the second one is a restrained explosion. Aditya Dhar is quite conscious of what he has constructed - and he constructs upon it without repeating it. Ram Gopal Varma referred to it as the birth of a new order in cinema. That is RGV being RGV, but he is not quite wrong.

Dhurandhar 2 OTT Release Date

Dhurandhar 2 has not yet had an official OTT release date. Considering the magnitude of the theatrical release and the box office pattern, an OTT window of 8 to 10 weeks will be anticipated. The former Dhurandhar is available on Netflix now. One can expect that the sequel will take the same path but you should book your cinema tickets and watch it on the big screen first. Such a movie is one that will not be wasted in a theatre, but on a phone.

Final Dhurandhar 2 Movie Review

The Movie is the rare sequel that justifies its existence completely. Aditya Dhar has produced a film that does not look down on its audience, and yet presents them with the type of gut-throbbing, edge-of-seat movie that Bollywood has rarely been able to do on this scale. Ranveer Singh has indeed built his identity as a great actor via the character he played. The box office figures indicate what the viewers are already aware of. Because who is not in awe?? The acting, the editing, the script are all top notch!

Rating: 4.5 / 5 (worth it)
