What happens
Dhurandhar: The Revenge is a 2026 Indian Hindi-language spy action-thriller film written and directed by Aditya Dhar. It is produced by Dhar, Lokesh Dhar, and Jyoti Deshpande under Jio Studios and B62 Studios. It is a sequel to the 2025 film Dhurandhar and the final installment of a duology. The film stars Ranveer Singh, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Sara Arjun, Rakesh Bedi, Gaurav Gera, Danish Pandor, and Manav Gohil, with several actors reprising their roles from the first film. It follows an undercover Indian intelligence agent who continues to infiltrate Karachi's criminal syndicates and Pakistani politics while avenging the 26/11 attacks and confronting larger threats. The film's storyline loosely incorporates multiple real-life geopolitical events and conflicts in South Asia, including Operation Lyari, the 2014 Indian general election, and the 2016 Indian banknote demonetisation. Shot back-to-back alongside the first film, principal photography began in July 2024 in Bangkok, Thailand, and concluded in October 2025. Filming took place across Punjab, Chandigarh, Maharashtra, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh, and Thailand, with some areas doubling for Pakistan-set sequences. Shashwat Sachdev composed the film's soundtrack. With a runtime of 229 minutes, it is among the longest Indian films ever produced. Dhurandhar: The Revenge was released in theatres worldwide on 19 March 2026, coinciding with the celebrations of Gudi Padwa, Ugadi, and Eid. The film received mixed reviews, with praise for its performances, storytelling, soundtrack, and technical aspects, with criticism for its levels of violence and for containing alleged nationalist propaganda. Like its predecessor, it was banned in all Gulf Cooperation Council countries. Commercially, the film became a major box office success, grossing over ₹1,000 crore worldwide within its first week of release. Grossing over ₹1,800 crore worldwide, it emerged as the second-highest-grossing Indian film of all time, the second-highest-grossing Hindi-language film worldwide, the highest-grossing Hindi-language film domestically, and the highest grossing A-rated Indian film of all time.
