The wait is almost over for fans of Ranveer Singh’s blockbuster spy-action universe. The official trailer for Dhurandhar: The Revenge—the highly anticipated sequel directed by Aditya Dhar—is set to drop digitally on March 3, 2026, coinciding with the festival of Holi. Makers Jio Studios and B62 Studios have opted for a direct online release rather than a grand physical event, aiming to maximize reach during the festive season. Earlier reports had speculated a March 5 launch at Mumbai’s Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC), but the team preponed the drop to March 3 for strategic timing.
Sequel Builds on Massive Success
The first Dhurandhar (released December 2025) shattered box-office records, becoming one of the highest-grossing Hindi films ever with over ₹1300 crore worldwide. The sequel promises even greater scale: reports indicate a runtime of around 3 hours 55 minutes (nearly 4 hours), making it one of the longest modern Hindi films and potentially the 5th longest overall in recent history. Directed once again by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar: The Revenge continues the espionage saga with Ranveer Singh leading a powerhouse ensemble including Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sara Arjun, and Rakesh Bedi
Festive Timing and Box-Office Clash
Dropping the trailer on Holi (March 4, 2026) is seen as a smart move to capitalize on festive excitement and family viewership. The film itself arrives in theaters on March 19, 2026, aligning with Gudi Padwa, Ugadi, and Eid al-Fitr—a multi-festival window ideal for pan-Indian blockbusters. It faces a massive clash with Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, whose trailer launches March 8 in Bengaluru. The head-to-head battle is already generating huge buzz, with both films promising high-octane action and star power.
Fan Excitement Peaks
Social media is flooded with anticipation, especially after early reviews from industry insiders (including praise from actress Yami Gautam calling it “beyond extraordinary”). Ranveer Singh’s reported “beast-mode” physical transformation and the sequel’s ambitious scope have fans counting down the hours.
