Dhurandhar OTT Release: Netflix Expands Reach, But Reduced Runtime For Ranveer Singh's All-Time Blockbuster
Mumbai, January 30 - Ranveer Singh's spy action thriller Dhurandhar has finally made its much-awaited OTT debut on Netflix, after scripting history at the global box office. After a record-breaking theatrical run, the movie is now available not just in Hindi but also in dubbed Telugu and Tamil versions, allowing the film to tap into a much wider pan-India and global audience. The multilingual release underlines Netflix's strategy to maximise the digital footprint of one of the biggest Hindi blockbusters in recent times, and also sets the stage for the multilingual theatrical release of Dhurandhar 2, which hits the big screens on March 19 in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The availability of Dhurandhar in South Indian languages has been welcomed by fans, who have been demanding release in other languages. With subtitles and dubbed versions, the film is now expected to find a fresh audience on streaming, further strengthening its post-theatrical impact. However, while the OTT release has expanded the film's accessibility, it has also sparked discussion due to a reduced runtime. The Netflix version is shorter than the theatrical cut, with several minutes trimmed from the original length. The OTT version is 3 hours and 25 minutes long against the 3 hours and 34 minutes of theatrical runtime. This has led to mixed reactions among viewers, particularly those who watched the film in cinemas and were expecting the uncut version to premiere on digital platforms. Despite the trimmed runtime, Dhurandhar continues to command strong interest on OTT, driven by its blockbuster tag, massive box-office legacy, and the curiosity surrounding its second part.
