Dhurandhar: The Revenge, the highly anticipated sequel to the 2025 film Dhurandhar, is set to hit theaters on March 19, 2026. The first installment achieved remarkable success, grossing 1,304 crore rupees (approximately $155 million) within its first three months of release.
Directed by Aditya Dhar and starring Ranveer Singh, Dhurandhar (2025) was released on Netflix in January 2026 and quickly became one of the five highest-grossing Indian films. Despite receiving mixed reviews, it sparked significant debate in India over its portrayal of Pakistan and was banned in several countries, including Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.
The film’s music, particularly the popular song ‘FA9LA’ by Flipperachi, contributed to its cultural impact. As anticipation builds for the sequel, advance bookings for Dhurandhar: The Revenge have already crossed $2.8 million in North America, indicating strong interest from audiences.
In Texas alone, advance bookings have reached 162,198, while California and New Jersey have reported 145,686 and 68,868 bookings, respectively. This early enthusiasm suggests that the sequel may replicate or even surpass the financial success of its predecessor.
Observers are keen to see how Dhurandhar: The Revenge will continue the story, which follows an Indian agent working undercover in a Karachi-based criminal outfit. The film is expected to premiere on OTT platforms approximately eight weeks after its theatrical run.
As the release date approaches, details remain unconfirmed regarding the plot specifics and character developments, including the roles of characters like Hamza Ali Mazari, Rehman Dakait, and Jameel Jamali.
With its strong box office performance and cultural discussions surrounding the first film, Dhurandhar: The Revenge is poised to be a significant event in Indian cinema in 2026.
