Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge
Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is an upcoming Indian Hindi-language spy action thriller film written, co-produced and directed by Aditya Dhar. Produced by Jyoti Deshpande, Aditya Dhar, and Lokesh Dhar under Jio Studios and B62 Studios, it is the direct sequel to Dhurandhar (2025) and serves as the second and final installment of a two-part film series. The film stars Ranveer Singh, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Sara Arjun, Rakesh Bedi, Danish Pandor, Gaurav Gera, Manav Gohil, and several supporting actors reprising their roles. In the film, an undercover Indian intelligence agent continues infiltrating Karachi’s criminal syndicates and political power structures in Pakistan while avenging the 26/11 attacks and confronting bigger threats.
Shot back-to-back alongside the first part, filming began in July 2024 in Bangkok, Thailand, and wrapped in October 2025. Location filming took place in Punjab, Chandigarh, Maharashtra, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh in India and Thailand; with some areas doubling for Pakistan-set sequences. The film has music composed by Shashwat Sachdev, cinematography handled by Vikash Nowlakha and editing by Shivkumar V. Panicker.
The soundtrack is composed by Shashwat Sachdev. The music rights were acquired by T-Series, replacing Saregama.
The brief glimpse of the sequel appeared in the post-credits scene of the first instalment, revealing its release date. Initially, reports suggested that the teaser would be screened alongside Border 2 in theatres on 30 January 2026. This plan, however, did not materialise. Dhar later announced that the teaser would be released separately in the near future. The official teaser was unveiled on 3 February 2026. However, the footage of the teaser was same as the glimpse appeared in post-credit scenes of the first part.
Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is scheduled for a theatrical release on 19 March 2026, coinciding with Eid al-Fitr, Gudi Padwa and Ugadi. It will be clashing with the Kannada film Toxic. Unlike the first part, it will also release in the Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada languages, apart from its original Hindi language.

Introducing Jaskirat Singh Rangi
Movie Review:
A relentless action extravaganza teetering on excess
Dhurandhar 2 Story:
After the death of Rehman Dakait, Hamza Ali Mazari (Ranveer Singh), formerly Jaskirat Singh Rangi from Punjab, India’s undercover agent, rises to the helm of Pakistan’s underworld and political scene but his ambitions reach far beyond this fleeting power.
Dhurandhar 2 Review:
The year’s most anticipated sequel, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, with a massive runtime of 3 hours and 49 minutes (15 minutes longer than the prequel), kicks off in sync with its predecessor. The film opens with a jaw-dropping action sequence that spirals into a brutal bloodbath. Struck by a personal tragedy, Jaskirat (Ranveer Singh), an Indian army trainee, is forced to embrace his new identity. The first half is riveting and fast-paced. It wastes no time, seamlessly shifting from past to present as Hamza rises to rule Lyari and takes the fight straight to the terrorists’ stronghold.
Dhurandhar (first part) revolutionised Indian filmmaking with its distinctive storytelling style. Each character was given equal significance, which is rare in Bollywood. It wasn’t a one-man show. Shashwat Sachdev’s pulsating score, sharply contrasted with the protagonist’s quiet resolve, fuelled the narrative. The Karachi-set mafia drama stood out for its immersive world-building and unabashed action set pieces, using barbaric violence as a cinematic language. The mafia drama had an element of mystery and exuded a relaxed yet striking sense of style and swagger, whether it was Akshaye Khanna’s slow-mo walk as Rehman Dakait, dressed in all black or Ranveer Singh’s banger entry into Lyari set to the powerful beats of “Aandhi ban ke aaya hoon… Mera hausla bhi aiyash hai, na toh karvaan ki talaash hai.” Moments like these became iconic.
Elevating a sequel with the same story and the same resources is a tall order, and the film struggles under the weight. It is gripping but overstuffed, thrilling yet undeniably overstretched and repetitive. The first half captivates so immensely that you won’t even blink but the latter half drifts aimlessly, sapping your energy.
Unlike its predecessor, which explored understated power and restraint to build a riveting world of gang wars and patriotism, the sequel is one-dimensional and wears its intentions on its sleeve. Masks come off, and the film leans towards jingoism and overt political bias, justifying measures like demonetisation. Subtle manipulation in storytelling is a given, but here it becomes conspicuous, too convenient, gradually turning the film into an ambitious mouthpiece for those in power. It delivers spectacle more than nuance. The action sequences are well-choreographed but the sound design feels slightly off in some scenes, arriving a beat before the action.
The absence of Akshaye Khanna leaves the sequel without a formidable nemesis, diluting its impact. The story misses the tension and unpredictability that the powerful parallel leads once provided. Ranveer Singh steps into the spotlight solo this time as the stoic, lethal force once again sporting a hippy leather jacket, sunglasses, and voluminous hair (despite the stress). He is remarkable both as a ruthless killing machine and a broken man, yet it is in his quieter, introspective moments that he truly shines, particularly in an emotional scene with Sara Arjun, who delivers a convincing performance herself. Sanjay Dutt and Arjun Rampal are in top form once again, and Rakesh Bedi captivates in his fascinating role, relishing every shade of his character’s disloyalty. Danish Pandor as Uzair deserved more screen space.
Dhurandhar 2 cranks up the volume, violence, and ambition. It’s a well-crafted, engaging saga that, unfortunately, doesn’t know when to stop. Gripping yet overstuffed, it’s a relentless action extravaganza teetering on excess, best enjoyed as unrestrained work of fiction.
