Dhurandhar’s first part a RARE film in post-Covid era to complete 100 days in cinemas; becomes the ONLY film ever to run in cinemas until its sequel’s release The much-awaited Dhurandhar: The Revenge is all set to release in less than a week, on March 19. To capitalize on the excitement, Jio Studios decided to organize paid previews on Wednesday, March 18, from 5:00 pm onwards. The response to the ticket sales is historic. Despite the exorbitant ticket rates, shows are filling fast across the country. Meanwhile, from Thursday, March 12, Jio decided to increase the shows of Dhurandhar’s first part and also re-release it in several cinemas where it was discontinued. It’s interesting to note that Dhurandhar’s Part 1, which was released on December 5, 2025, continued to play in several cinemas throughout this period. In fact, today marks the film’s 99th day in theatres, and tomorrow, March 14, it will complete a glorious 100-day run. There was a time when blockbuster films routinely achieved such milestones, but over the years, such feats have become increasingly rare. Hence, Dhurandhar stands out as a rare post-Covid film to enjoy such a long theatrical run. Almost 1 ½ months ago, it dropped on Netflix. Usually, viewership in cinemas drops once a film is available online. But Dhurandhar’s first part continued to find steady audiences in certain theatres, due to which it was never discontinued. And now it has been re-released in several theatres, where it had ended its ... #release #part #March #Dhurandhar #film #Revenge #Jio_Studios #much-awaited_Dhurandhar #cinemas #Studios_decided

The Grahan effect: The real reason why Dhurandhar: The Revenge’s trailer won’t release on March 3 On Sunday, March 1, Bollywood Hungama announced that the trailer for Dhurandhar: The Revenge would be released digitally on Tuesday, March 3. However, by Monday, it emerged that Jio Studios was no longer planning to drop the highly anticipated promo on the stated date. Bollywood Hungama reached out to reliable sources to understand what triggered the last-minute change behind the scenes. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Reports of Dhurandhar: The Revenge’s trailer release on March 3 weren’t mere rumours. The makers genuinely planned to unveil it that day. But they were later informed that March 3 witnesses a Chandra Grahan (lunar eclipse), which is considered inauspicious for new beginnings. The inauspicious period is said to be from 9:39 am to 6:46 pm. Trailers are usually launched around noon, and this timing falls within the window. Hence, the team decided to postpone the trailer release. ”In February 2026, Bollywood Hungama had reported that the trailer of Dhurandhar: The Revenge would be launched on March 5 at Mumbai’s iconic Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC). That plan was eventually dropped, and a digital launch was scheduled for March 3. Now, however, it appears the makers might unveil the trailer on March 5 or March 6 on digital platforms, without an event. The suspense continues on the exact date. The Dhurandhar series stars Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Kh... #March #Bollywood #Bollywood_Hungama #Hungama_announced #Revenge #Jio_Studios #real_reason #released_digitally #Hungama #Grahan_effect

Reliance’s Jio Studios pulls back anti-piracy case on Dhurandhar before Madras High Court In a recent development, the Madras High Court has allowed Reliance Industries Limited to withdraw its commercial lawsuit concerning alleged piracy threats to the film Dhurandhar. The matter, titled Reliance Industries Limited vs BSNL, was taken up on February 18. The case was heard by Justice Senthilkumar Ramamoorthy, who recorded the withdrawal after counsel appearing for Reliance informed the Bench that instructions had been received from the client to discontinue the proceedings. In view of the submission, the Court dismissed the suit as withdrawn, without imposing any costs, and also closed the related interim applications. Reliance, through its media division Jio Studios, had initiated the commercial action under the provisions of the Copyright Act, 1957. The objective was to secure permanent injunctions aimed at preventing unauthorised online circulation and cable transmission of Dhurandhar. The plea was in the nature of a pre-release anti-piracy measure, a remedy frequently pursued by film producers ahead of a theatrical launch. A broad spectrum of entities had been named as defendants in the matter. These included telecom service providers, internet intermediaries and cable distribution networks such as Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), MTNL, Bharti Airtel, Vodafone Idea, Tata Communications, Sify Technologies, Hathway, GTPL Hathway, Asianet Satellite Communications and ... #High_Court #Madras_High #High #Industries_Limited #Reliance_Industries #Jio_Studios #recent_development #pulls_back #alleged_piracy #piracy_threats
