Dhurandhar 2 LIVE Updates: Although several highly hyped movies are gearing up to hit the screens at various points this year, if there’s one title that can be called the most anticipated Indian film of 2026, it’s director Aditya Dhar’s Ranveer Singh-led Dhurandhar: The Revenge. A sequel to their widely acclaimed spy actioner Dhurandhar, which hit the screens just over three months ago, the second instalment in the franchise is all set to release worldwide on Thursday, March 19, with special paid premiere shows across the country a day prior.

While it was initially expected that Dhurandhar 2 would face stiff competition from Geetu Mohandas’ Yash-starrer Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups, thus affecting both actioners’ opening and lifetime collections, the decks were cleared for the Ranveer Singh-starrer when Toxic opted out of the race. The release of Yash’s movie was postponed to June 4, 2026, owing to ongoing tensions in the Middle East. With this, Dhurandhar 2’s dream of dominating the South Indian market also took flight.

As a result, the movie has been witnessing phenomenal advance booking, hinting that it will register an earth-shattering opening. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Dhurandhar 2 has already grossed a whopping Rs 40.70 crore (including block seats) with its preview shows (Wednesday) alone. Its opening-day gross has crossed Rs 29.35 crore, with the movie selling over 6.70 lakh tickets across more than 15,000 shows. Dhurandhar 2’s overall opening weekend business has crossed Rs 135 crore (including block seats).

Also starring Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Sara Arjun, Rakesh Bedi, Gaurav Gera, and Danish Pandor, Dhurandhar 2 features cinematography by Vikash Nowlakha, editing by Shivkumar V Panicker, and music by Shashwat Sachdev. The spy actioner is jointly produced by Jyoti Deshpande, Aditya Dhar, and Lokesh Dhar under the banners of Jio Studios and B62 Studios.

Dhurandhar 2 Movie Release LIVE Updates: Yami Gautam's Dhurandhar 2 review, called it 'beyond extraordinary'

Dhurandhar 2's media strategy has been unprecedented. Unlike Dhurandhar, the makers have not hosted any media event, music launch or event, keeping all details about the Ranveer Singh-starrer away from the audience. Perhaps the only person who has accepted in public that she has watched the film and given Dhurandhar 2 review is director Aditya Dhar's actor wife, Yami Gautam. While speaking at News18 Rising Bharat Summit 2026 in March, Yami had shared her Dhurandhar 2 review, calling the experience 'extraordinary'.

"I have already watched Dhurandhar 2. It is beyond extraordinary. I was really emotional. I had to catch a flight that day so I couldn't say anything to Aditya but later, I couldn't do anything. I had to read a script but I couldn't, I had to watch something but I couldn't. I was just watching the beautiful sunset outside and wondering what will I tell Aditya when the flight lands. I wanted to justify my feelings on the film and what I experienced. Aditya loves his audience and the country and he has given his life's effort to make this film. Dhurandhar 2 will be an experience that audience will never forget," she had said.
