JioCinema postpones 'Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge' streaming after IPL 2026 JioHotstar, the digital streaming platform under Reliance Industries, has delayed the release of Ranveer Singh’s upcoming film Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge until late May or early June 2026. The decision follows the conclusion of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, which is set to conclude in late April. The postponement aims to maximize viewership by aligning the film’s digital premiere with the peak audience engagement period after the cricket tournament. The film, which has already become a box office hit since its theatrical release in March 2026, is expected to draw a massive audience on the streaming platform. JioHotstar’s strategic timing reflects its confidence in the film’s popularity and its ability to capitalize on the heightened interest in sports and entertainment during the IPL season. The delay ensures that the digital premiere will not compete with the IPL’s live broadcasts, allowing the film to capture a broader audience. JioHotstar has secured the streaming rights for Dhurandhar 2 at a reported cost of ₹120-150 crore, a significant investment that underscores the film’s anticipated success. The platform is banking on the movie’s strong performance at the box office, where it has already earned over ₹1,600 crore in India. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the film continues the story of Ranveer Singh’s character, an undercover agent, and features a stellar cast including Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, and R. Madhavan. The film’s success is attributed to its blend of high-energy action sequences and compelling character development.#ranveer_singh #ipl_2026 #jiohotstar #reliance_industries #dhurandhar_2_the_revenge
Dhurandhar: The Revenge Box Office Surpasses Rs. 1,000 Crore Global Milestone Aditya Dhar’s espionage thriller Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, starring Ranveer Singh as covert spy Hamza, has surged past the Rs. 1,000 crore global box office mark in just nine days, matching the pace of Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2. The sequel, which reimagines the origin story of Hamza, is now on track to surpass the Rs. 894.49 crore lifetime record of its 2025 predecessor. As of March 27, 2026, the film’s domestic net collection stands at Rs. 675 crore, with global earnings nearing Rs. 1,100 crore. The film’s performance has been exceptional, with collections remaining above Rs. 47 crore even on Day 7 and showing a positive trend on Day 9. Early live tracking for Day 9 indicates a net collection of Rs. 7.10 crore, pushing the total domestic net to Rs. 681.27 crore. The film’s ability to sustain high earnings through its ninth day places it among the top-grossing Indian films of all time. Day-wise collections reveal a strong trajectory: the film opened with Rs. 102 crore on Day 1, peaked at Rs. 114.85 crore on Day 4, and maintained steady numbers through Days 5–8, with Day 8 showing Rs. 0.75 crore. Despite its nearly four-hour runtime, the film has shattered mid-week records, positioning itself as a potential record-holder for the highest-grossing Indian film. The film’s cast includes Ranveer Singh, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Sara Arjun, Rakesh Bedi, and Danish Pandor, with a runtime of 3 hours and 49 minutes. It was released in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu across India and simultaneously in international markets like the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia, UAE, and Southeast Asia. The film is certified U/A by the CBFC.#ranveer_singh #allu_arjun #cbfc #dhurandhar_2_the_revenge #pushpa_2
Ram Gopal Varma Champions 'Dhurandhar' as a Game-Changer for Indian Cinema Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has publicly endorsed Aditya Dhar’s film Dhurandhar, calling it a transformative work that has redefined storytelling in Indian cinema. Varma argues that the film’s success, particularly with the upcoming sequel Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, could shift the industry’s dynamics and challenge the long-standing dominance of South Indian cinema. He believes the film’s innovative approach has set a new benchmark, potentially overshadowing traditional productions from Telugu and Tamil film industries. Varma has repeatedly praised Dhurandhar in recent months, highlighting Dhar’s ability to revolutionize narrative techniques in Indian cinema. In an interview with DNA, he emphasized how the film’s success has disrupted the status quo, suggesting that its impact could redefine the future of the industry. He also addressed the delays of several South Indian projects, including Toxic, Dacoit, and Peddi, linking them to the growing influence of Dhurandhar. In a separate conversation with Variety India, Varma expanded on Dhurandhar’s potential to reshape the market. He noted that the film’s massive box-office numbers have already disrupted the traditional model of South Indian cinema, which he described as rooted in “old-school” storytelling. Varma speculated that Dhurandhar 2 could surpass its predecessor’s success, potentially reaching revenue figures of Rs 1500–2000 crores. He warned that such a feat could destabilize the current landscape, as South Indian films are “designed in the old-school manner.” Varma also discussed the sequel’s plot, which follows Hamza taking over Rehman Dakait’s regimen after his death. The story introduces Major Iqbal as a new antagonist, complicating the protagonists’ mission to protect India.#aditya_dhar #dhurandhar #ram_gopal_varma #dhurandhar_2_the_revenge #dna
