About Dhurandhar
Helmed by Aditya Dhar, the spy action thriller is the first instalment of a two-part film series. It tells the story of an Indian spy infiltrating Karachi’s criminal and political underworld in Pakistan. The plot weaves together several real-life events involving geopolitical tensions, such as the 1999 IC-814 hijacking, the 2001 Indian Parliament attack, the 2008 Mumbai attacks, and events surrounding Operation Lyari. It was released on December 5. It collected over ₹1300 crore worldwide and became the first Bollywood film to cross ₹1000 crore at the domestic box office.
The film’s sequel, titled Dhurandhar: The Revenge, will be released in theatres on March 19, 2026. The heavily anticipated sequel also stars R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, Danish Pandor, Rakesh Bedi, and Sara Arjun. The film will clash with Pawan Kalyan’s Ustaad Bhagat Singh. Both films are releasing on March 19 with paid previews on the evening of March 18.
Advance bookings for Dhurandhar 2 have surged in the US and Canada. According to trade estimates, by Tuesday’s end, the spy thriller had raked in over $750K for premiere shows alone. Advance bookings for opening day have comfortably crossed $1 million, and the opening weekend mark has now reached a staggering $2 million. In India, where advance booking opened just for paid previews on Wednesday, the film has still sold over 3.5 lakh tickets, grossing a whopping ₹19 crore.
