The wait is almost over for the fans of 2025’s biggest blockbuster. Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is officially set to hit theaters on March 19, 2026. After the first film shattered records and crossed the Rs 1,300 crore mark, the sequel has become the most talked-about project in Indian cinema this year.
In a move that has stunned industry insiders, as per Pinkvilla, director Aditya Dhar has locked a mammoth theatrical runtime of 3 hours and 55 minutes (235 minutes). This makes Dhurandhar 2 the fifth-longest Hindi film ever made, trailing only behind classics like LOC: Kargil and Mera Naam Joker. Reports suggest the film was originally over seven hours long, prompting the makers to split it into two parts rather than lose the quality of the footage.

Sources close to the production at Jio Studios and B62 Studios say this trailer will finally unveil Ranveer Singh’s extreme physical transformation for the role.
