The high‑octane spy action sequel Dhurandhar 2 is one of the most awaited Bollywood films of 2026, led again by Ranveer Singh and directed by Aditya Dhar.
Dhurandhar 2 release date and expected show time
-
Dhurandhar 2 is scheduled to release in cinemas on 19 March 2026.
-
The director Aditya Dhar has confirmed that there is no change in the date, even though it clashes with Yash’s Toxic: A Fairytale For Grown-Ups at the box office.
-
In India, most big Hindi releases start with early morning shows around 9:00–10:00 AM IST in major cities, with later shows added based on demand.
The film continues the story almost immediately after the events of the first Dhurandhar, which released in December 2025,
making it a rare quick-turnaround two‑part spy saga.
Star cast and characters
Dhurandhar 2 brings back the core spy universe built in the first film, along with some key new faces.
Main cast (expected/confirmed from Part 1 and early reports):
-
Ranveer Singh – lead protagonist and elite spy heading the central mission.
-
Sanjay Dutt – senior figure in the operation, with a significant presence in the sequel.
-
Akshaye Khanna – appears largely in flashbacks in Part 2 because his character dies in the first film.
-
Arjun Rampal – part of the ensemble from the first film, expected to continue in the new chapter.
-
R. Madhavan – key member of the spy team, adding star power and intensity.
-
Sara Arjun – important child character whose arc carries emotional weight across both parts.
-
Rakesh Bedi, Danish Pandor and others – support the main mission narrative.
Casting director Mukesh Chhabra has earlier mentioned that the makers scaled up the film’s size by bringing in bigger names like R. Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna and Arjun Rampal to do justice to the story’s scale.
Budget and scale of Dhurandhar 2
-
Reports and trade discussions suggest that the first Dhurandhar was mounted on a budget in the range of about 250–300 crore, mainly due to its star cast and large‑scale action.
-
For Dhurandhar 2, the makers have reused large sets, core cast and the production infrastructure, so the effective budget is expected to be in a similar or slightly higher band, though exact official numbers are not yet disclosed.
The decision to shoot both parts close together, and possibly back‑to‑back,
helped control costs while still delivering a big cinematic experience.
Story and plot expectations
While the makers are keeping major plot twists hidden, some broad story expectations can be drawn from Part 1 and trade coverage.
-
Dhurandhar 2 is designed as the concluding chapter of Ranveer Singh’s spy mission introduced in the first film.
-
The sequel picks up unresolved narrative threads, including betrayals within the agency, international terror links, and the fate of key allies introduced earlier.
-
Akshaye Khanna’s character, though dead, still influences the story through flashbacks and prior schemes that come to light.
-
The scale of the action is expected to go bigger with overseas locations, large set‑pieces and a more emotional arc for Ranveer’s character, particularly around Sara Arjun’s role.
For fans of long, immersive spy thrillers, Dhurandhar 2 should feel like the second half of a single big story rather than a disconnected sequel.
Dhurandhar 2 trailer, teaser and music
-
A dedicated teaser for Dhurandhar 2 has been hinted at by Bollywood news portals, with speculation around its drop in early 2026, shortly before release.
-
Early reports suggest that the film will feature a blend of high‑energy background score and a few emotional songs instead of a song‑heavy album, in line with the tonality of the first film.
Fans can expect heavy promotion, including trailer launches, city tours and digital campaigns,
especially given the direct box office clash with Yash’s Toxic.
Dhurandhar 2 OTT release and how to watch online
As of early February 2026, the makers have not officially announced the exact OTT release date and platform for Dhurandhar 2.
However, we can make educated guesses based on the first film’s pattern and industry trends.
-
The first Dhurandhar (Part 1) released in cinemas on 5 December 2025 and reached Netflix on 30 January 2026, roughly 7–8 weeks after its theatrical debut.
-
It is expected that Dhurandhar 2 will also follow a similar 6–8 week theatre‑to‑OTT window, likely on a major platform such as Netflix or a comparable service, though this is not officially confirmed yet.
