Dhurandhar Starrer Ranveer Singh to Headline Zombie Actioner Pralay Opposite Kalyani Priyadarshan

Kalyani Priyadarshan, a prominent actress in South Indian cinema, is set to make her much-anticipated Bollywood debut. She will star as the leading lady opposite Bollywood superstar Ranveer Singh in the upcoming zombie actioner titled Pralay. The film is slated to begin shooting in April 2026.

This project marks a significant milestone not only for Kalyani but also for Ranveer Singh, who will be making his debut as a producer. Singh will co-produce the film under his newly launched banner, Maa Kasam Films. The movie will be a collaborative production with Hansal Mehta's True Story Films and Sameer Nair's Applause Entertainment.

Pralay will be directed by Jai Mehta, who has previously directed the series Lootere and co directed the critically acclaimed show Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story. The film is described as a large-scale, high-concept zombie thriller that explores a human story of survival and sacrifice in a post-apocalyptic world. It is expected to feature extensive VFX and world-building.

 

Kalyani Priyadarshan has already begun preparations for her role, which is said to demand a blend of emotional depth and intense action. Her entry into Bollywood with a major commercial film like Pralay is being viewed as a strategic move that will position her on a pan-India platform. Kalyani has delivered several successful films in the Malayalam and Telugu industries. Her recent fantasy thriller, Lokah: Chapter 1 – Chandra, was a blockbuster, gaining her nationwide recognition.

Her filmography includes a mix of hits and super hits such as Thallumaala, Hridayam, Maanaadu, and Varane Avashyamund. Hridayam, a romantic drama, was a blockbuster, earning over ₹55 crore against a budget of ₹7 crore. The sci-fi action thriller Maanaadu was also a blockbuster, with a collection of ₹79 crore against a ₹30 crore budget. As anticipation builds, all eyes will be on this fresh pairing. Pralay is not just set to be a major Bollywood debut for Kalyani Priyadarshan, but also a bold new chapter for Ranveer Singh as he steps into the role of a producer for a large-scale action spectacle.

Ranbir Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal, Or Ranveer Singh? When Harbhajan Singh Revealed Who Should Do His Biopic

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, May 29 - Over the years, Indian cinema has explored only a handful of sports biopics, especially based on cricketers. Films like MS Dhoni: The Untold Story and 83 managed to leave a strong impact on audiences, making fans curious about which sporting icon could get the next big-screen adaptation. Amid such discussions, former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh had once revealed which Bollywood actor he would want to portray him in a biopic. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Interestingly, while fans often suggested names like Ranbir Kapoor and Ranveer Singh because of their versatility and screen presence, Harbhajan had a completely different choice in mind. Back in 2024, the former cricketer revealed that Vicky Kaushal would be the ideal actor to play him if his life story was ever adapted for the big screen. He also stated that Ranbir Kapoor and Ranveer Singh could also fit in for her role. Speaking during an interaction, Harbhajan explained that Vicky Kaushal understands the Punjabi spirit and personality very well, making him a natural fit for the role. The former spinner also mentioned that both of them belong to the same region and speak the same language, which would help the actor connect with the character more authentically. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Harbhajan Singh's journey certainly has all the ingredients of a compelling sports drama. From becoming the first Indian bowler to take a Test hat-trick to playing crucial roles in India's 2007 T20 World Cup and 2011 ODI World Cup triumphs, the off-spinner enjoyed a remarkable cricketing career filled with unforgettable moments. The former cricketer had also stated that he was working on his biography, which could eventually pave the way for a film adaptation. According to Harbhajan, stories of sportspersons inspire youngsters by showing how dedication, hard work, and determination can help someone rise from humble beginnings to achieve greatness. Vicky Kaushal has already impressed audiences with his performances in films based on real-life personalities, including Sam Bahadur and Sardar Udham. His ability to portray emotionally intense and layered characters is one of the major reasons why many fans agreed with Harbhajan's casting choice. Meanwhile, the biopic of legandary cricketer Sourav Ganguly is already in the works with Rajkumar Rao in the lead.

Dhurandhar 2 Box Office: Major Records of Ranveer Singh Starrer That May Remain Safe For A Long Time

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, May 27 - Dhurandhar is not just a film, but proof that with 100% conviction, films can achieve the biggest records even with restrictions. Despite being in the 10th week, Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has been rewriting box office history at an unbelievable pace, still attracting audiences. Starring Ranveer Singh in the lead role, the action spectacle has emerged as one of the greatest Indian blockbusters, and to think that it achieved massive numbers in India and internationally with age restrictions makes this historic success jaw-dropping. Over the last few years, Indian cinema has produced massive blockbusters, and will continue to do so, but here are some of the Dhurandhar 2 records that may remain safe for a long time. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Fastest A-Rated 1000 Crore Grosser Worldwide One of the film's biggest achievements was entering the 1000 crore worldwide club in just seven days. The movie matched the record pace of Pushpa 2: The Rule and became the joint fastest Indian film ever to reach the historic milestone. While it is definitely a proud record, it is not unbreakable, given the way Indian cinema is operating at the moment, with another blockbuster always around the corner. While we may get the fastest Indian 1000 crore grosser very soon, it will be an uphill task for a film with an adult rating. Dhurandhar 2 was 18+ rated, plus, it was banned in the Gulf region, which is a major market for Indian cinema. Yet, the spy action thriller reached the thousand crore milestone at a record pace, which is likely to remain safe for a long time. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Highest A-Rated Indian Grosser Dhurandhar 2 has grossed over 1800 crores worldwide, and is the second-highest-grossing Indian film of all time, which shows that it is already nearing the highest point for Indian cinema, and the highest if we take out China market from the equation. The current biggest grosser, Dangal (2070 crore), largely contributed was China box office, which is not a regular market for Indian cinema. Dhurandhar 2 is achieving its box office numbers with an A-rating and without a single penny from the Gulf and China, which is a watershed achievement for the film. It is expected to remain the biggest adult-rated Indian film for a long time, unless a pleasantly shocking film arrives soon. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Highest Indian Grosser In North America The film created history in North America by surpassing the lifetime collections of Baahubali 2: The Conclusion in the territory. For years, S. S. Rajamouli's blockbuster held a near-unbreakable record in the market with $20.70 million, which shows how tough it is for Indian films to go past the $20 million mark. Dhurandhar 2 managed to attract huge audiences throughout its theatrical run and emerged as the biggest Indian success ever in the region with $28.60+ million. There are some of the highly anticipated films lined up over the next 2 years, which might score massive numbers at the North American box office, but an adult-rated film breaking Dhurandhar 2's record is looking extremely tough anytime soon. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Biggest First Week For An A-Rated Film In A Single Language The action entertainer delivered a historic first-week total and became one of the highest first-week grossers ever for a Hindi-language film with 763 crore gross (636 crore net). After opening to sensational numbers worldwide, the movie continued its dream run on weekdays as well, proving that audience reception remained exceptionally strong beyond the initial hype. Maintaining such massive collections after a gigantic opening is extremely rare in modern box office trends, especially for an age-restricted title. 1000 Crore India Net Milestone For A-Rated Perhaps the film's most extraordinary achievement was crossing the 1000 crore Hindi net mark. Only a handful of Indian films have ever approached this milestone, but Dhurandhar 2 is the only one to acheive these in a single language, a rarity in a modern high-priced theatrical market. The feat reflected the film's universal acceptance across multiplex audiences, mass circuits, metros, and smaller centres alike. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) 100 Crore Single Day In A Single Language For An A-Rated Film Before Dhurandhar 2, it was SS Rajamouli's RRR, which scored the 100+ crores single-day collection in a single language, but never before had an adult-rated film hit this jackpot. Dhurandhar 2 not only achieved this milestone twice (day 3 and day 4), but also unlocked the potential for a Hindi film to achieve. However, it may still be the hardest thing to do for a restricted film.

Mumbai, May 27 - After a mega blockbuster run at the box office and massive OTT viewership on Netflix, director Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar is all set to make its television debut. The much-talked-about action thriller starring Ranveer Singh will have its World Television Premiere on May 30 at 7 PM on Star Gold, Star Gold 2, and Colors Cineplex. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The television premiere marks another major milestone for the film, which emerged as one of the biggest Indian blockbusters. Backed by high-octane action, patriotic themes, and a mass-heavy presentation, the 2025 film managed to create strong buzz during its theatrical run and continued to dominate conversations even after its digital release. Made on a grand scale and huge budget, Dhurandhar featured Ranveer Singh in one of his most intense action-oriented avatars. The film received appreciation for its raw action sequences and rooted narrative. The film is expected to register impressive television ratings, considering its strong theatrical popularity and fan following among mass audiences. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Multi-channel premieres have increasingly become a strategy for broadcasters to maximise reach, and the same approach is now being adopted for Dhurandhar. The movie's television debut is expected to further strengthen its popularity among audiences. With its action-packed narrative and star power, the film is likely to attract significant viewership. Released on December 5, 2025, Dhurandhar went on to gross over 1300 crores at the worldwide box office, before its sequel, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, scripted history by grossing over 1800 crores globally after its release on March 19. Produced by Jio Studios and B62 Studio, the movie also stars R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, Sara Arjun, Rakesh Bedi, and Danish Pandor in key roles.

The Five Must-Watch Indian Spy Movies If You Loved Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar 2

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, May 26 - Director Aditya Dhar's spy action thriller Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge have changed the game for Indian cinema in this genre. Grounded espionage and raw action are the core of the blockbuster franchise. Ranveer Singh's gritty performance as deep-cover agent Jaskirat Singh Rangi set a new gold standard for realistic Indian spy thrillers. If you love complex, chapter-based plots, tense standoffs, and nation-first narratives, these five Indian spy masterpieces will keep you on the edge of your seat. While Dhurandhar has definitely set the bar super high, these five films have been the gold standard in this genre. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Baby (2015) Where to Watch - JioHotstar, YouTube (rent) Directed by Neeraj Pandey, Baby is about an elite, unnamed Indian counter-intelligence team that sets out on a ticking-clock mission to track down a terrorist group and eliminate dangerous sleeper cells. Starring Akshay Kumar as lead agent Ajay Singh Rajput, alongside Rana Daggubati and Taapsee Pannu, the film opts for hyper-realistic action, gritty international locations, and a raw, professional look at the gruelling reality of spy work. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Madras Cafe (2013) Where to Watch - Prime Video, YouTube (rent), Apple TV This political thriller is directed by Shoojit Sircar and features John Abraham as the lead agent and Nargis Fakhri as an international journalist. In the movie, an Indian army special forces officer is recruited by the intelligence wing to infiltrate a war-torn island and break up a powerful rebel force. It feels almost like a documentary, exploring the dark, heavy realities of real-world spy craft. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) D-Day (2013) Where to Watch - Prime Video, MX Player, YouTube Directed by Nikkhil Advani, the film focuses on a highly secret, four-member R&AW team that infiltrates Pakistan to capture and bring back "Goldman," India's most wanted criminal mastermind. The film boasts a powerhouse cast including Arjun Rampal (who also stars in Dhurandhar), Rishi Kapoor, Irfan Khan, and Huma Qureshi. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Vishwaroopam (2013) Where to Watch - JioHotstar A seemingly effeminate Kathak dance teacher in New York is hunted by the FBI, only to reveal he is a highly lethal, top-tier Indian intelligence agent tracking a global terror network. Written, directed, and led by cinema legend Kamal Haasan, the movie also stars Rahul Bose and Pooja Kumar. It mirrors Dhurandhar's massive global scope, explosive hand-to-hand combat choreography, and clever use of shifting secret identities to outsmart dangerous adversaries. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Raazi (2018) Where to Watch - Prime Video, Netflix, Apple TV On the eve of the 1971 Indo-Pak war, a young, untrained Kashmiri girl is married into a high-ranking Pakistani military family to serve as a deep-cover spy. Directed by Meghna Gulzar, this critically acclaimed film stars Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal in lead roles. The film explores the heavy emotional weight of patriotism and the terrifying fear of operating behind enemy lines.

Four Reasons Why Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar Is Different From YRF Spy Universe Films

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, May 26 - The mega blockbuster success of Aditya Dhar's spy thriller franchise Dhurandhar and its sequel Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has changed how audiences may view Indian spy cinema going forward. Starring Ranveer Singh, the film follows his character Jaskirat Singh Rangi, a deep-cover Indian agent living a dangerous double life inside enemy territory. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Ever since Dhurandhar films have been released, the franchise's gritty story has sparked an intense debate among moviegoers. R. Madhvan, who has played a major role in the two-part film series, famously said during the trailer launch event of the first film last year that Dhurandhar will vanish the spy genre in Indian cinema. This has sparked a debate as many compare Dhurandhar's style to the famous Yash Raj Films Spy Universe, which includes hits like Pathaan, Tiger, and War. While YRF films have proven their box office dominance over the year, Dhurandhar's success might have put the studio under pressure regarding its future films. Here are five points which makes 3000+ crore blockbuster to YRF Spy movies. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Realism vs. Fantasy While both franchises centred around terrorism, the YRF Spy Universe functions as a larger-than-life, masala entertainer, and popcorn-friendly world where you leave your brain at home. On the other hand, Dhurandhar is highly grounded, which explores actual intelligence tactics, politics, and historical underpinnings, starring from 1999 Kandahar hijacking to the Karachi underworld. Grit over Glamour YRF movies are famous for flashy international locations, stylish outfits, and massive dance numbers. Dhurandhar features heavy hyper-violence, profanity, and a dark, moody visual style. It completely skips typical Bollywood song-and-dance tropes to keep the tension alive while using iconic songs as background music in sync with scenes. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Character Portrayal In the YRF universe, spies act like unstoppable superheroes who can dodge bullets effortlessly and jump from one plane to another. In Dhurandhar, Ranveer Singh's character (Jaskirat Singh Rangi) is quiet, lethal, and deeply vulnerable. The movie showcases the immense emotional and mental toll of deep-cover spy craft rather than treating it like a fun adventure. Geopolitical Stakes YRF films often take a softer, completely fictionalised stance on international conflicts to appeal to a global audience. Dhurandhar does not try to please both sides. It presents an unvarnished, sharp-edged depiction of real-life rivalries and national security struggles while giving proper importance to each character without caring about the runtime.

FWICE Bans Ranveer Singh Following His Exit From Farhan Akhtar's Don 3

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, May 25 - The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has issued a non-cooperation directive against Ranveer Singh following his abrupt exit from the upcoming film Don 3. The decision came after filmmaker Farhan Akhtar and producer Ritesh Sidhwani approached FWICE over alleged financial and production losses caused by the actor's withdrawal from the project. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to reports, FWICE held multiple meetings and sent notices to Ranveer Singh asking him to present his side. FWICE officials later claimed that the actor responded by stating that the matter did not fall under the federation's jurisdiction. Following this, the body announced a "Non-Cooperation Directive," effectively asking industry workers and associations not to collaborate with him until the issue is resolved. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The controversy began after Ranveer exited Don 3 just weeks before shooting was scheduled to begin. Reports suggest that Excel Entertainment had already spent heavily on pre-production and promotional activities. Some reports claim the producers are seeking damages of around 40–45 crore. FWICE advisor Ashoke Pandit reportedly stated that sudden exits by actors impact not only producers but also thousands of film workers associated with productions. Meanwhile, neither Ranveer Singh nor his team has publicly issued a detailed statement on the ban so far. Meanwhile, the Dhurandhar star is scheduled to begin his next film, Pralay, around August this year. Directed by Jai Mehta and produced by Ranveer Singh's Maa Kasam Films with Hansal Mehta, the film is a Zombie thriller, which is a one-of-its-kind film for Ranveer. It needs to be seen how things fare following the actor's ban by film body.

Dhurandhar 2 10th Weekend Box Office: Hits Rs. 1,800 Cr; Combined Franchise Haul Stands At Rs. 3,107 Cr Worldwide

BY SACNILK

Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has effectively rewritten the rulebook for what a blockbuster looks like in today's era. By sailing past the 1,800 crore mark globally, it has not just overtaken legends like Baahubali 2 and Pushpa 2, but it has essentially provided a much-needed adrenaline shot for the entire industry. What makes this success story truly jaw-dropping is how the makers played their cards; while the first installment in 2025 was a purely Hindi release that raked in an impressive 1,307.35 crore, the sequel was unleashed in multiple languages. This strategic pivot allowed the film to set new benchmarks that have left many in awe as it claimed the second spot in the all-time global rankings. The financial picture here is nothing short of incredible. When you consider that both films were made on a combined budget of 255 crore, the return on investment is frankly in a league of its own. We are looking at a franchise that has generated over 3,100 crore in total worldwide gross across both chapters. To put the domestic craze into perspective, the film has seen over 4 crore footfalls, making it the first original Hindi-led project to command that kind of crowd since Gadar back in 2001. Also the sequel's 1.83 crore ticket sales on BookMyShow have pushed the franchise's total to over 6.8 crore tickets across India, reflecting the massive scale of its audience reach.Such is the trend the franchise has set that it may take years for these records to be broken. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Even as it enters its tenth weekend, the film is showing no signs of a complete burnout. In fact, the tenth-weekend performance saw a total net collection of 0.83 crore across 691 shows in India. The momentum peaked on Sunday (Day 67) with a net of 0.40 crore, marking a 33.3 percent jump from the previous day. The occupancy levels followed a similar trend, starting at 21 percent on Friday and climbing to a healthy 36 percent on Sunday. National chains like PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis saw a surge in volume as well, with ticket sales jumping from 1,318 on Friday to 3,798 on Sunday. By the end of this weekend, over 7,300 tickets were added to the kitty from these chains alone, suggesting the film still has some legs left.

While the Hindi version remains the primary driver, the contributions from the Southern states have helped push the total India net to 1,147.58 crore.Based on current trends, we expect the film to conclude its theatrical journey with a lifetime global haul of approximately 1,803 crore or may be 1,805 crore ,safely securing its place as a historical benchmark for Indian cinema. Here is how the regional breakdown looks: Hindi: ₹1,079.04 Cr Telugu: ₹43.07 Cr Tamil: ₹19.83 Cr Kannada: ₹3.87 Cr Malayalam: ₹1.77 Cr This global dominance was further cemented by a strong showing overseas, where the film grossed a total of 426.67 crore. International audiences were clearly drawn to the high-quality VFX, as roughly 18 percent of overseas revenue came from premium formats like IMAX and 4DX. As the theatrical run begins to wind down, the focus is now shifting toward the small screen. The digital premiere on JioHotstar on June 4 will feature a special Raw and Undekha cut, including 20 minutes of extra footage that wasn't shown in theaters. This extended version is expected to keep the conversation going long after the film leaves the big screen. The financial health of this duology is arguably its most impressive feat. The producers managed both films on a combined budget of just 255 crore, making the return on investment frankly in a league of its own. We are looking at a franchise that has generated over 3,107 crore in total worldwide gross across both chapters. This success was not limited to the box office; the makers also pulled off a masterstroke with digital rights. While Part 1 remained with Netflix for a revised value of 85 crore, the makers leveraged the sequel's hype to secure a separate, staggering 150 crore deal with JioHotstar. This pushed their total digital revenue to 235 crore, nearly covering the entire production cost of the franchise through streaming alone.

Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge Week 9 Box Office Collection: Rs. 2.19 Cr Net; Steady Footfalls for the Spy Epic as it Completes a Historic 64-Day Marathon

BY SACNILK

Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has done more than just break records; it has effectively redefined the impact of a franchise film within the larger spy universe. This cinematic world has built significant trust with the audience, and this sequel has capitalized on that goodwill to reach heights rarely seen in Indian cinema.When we talk about the landscape of modern Indian cinema, the spy universe has emerged as a juggernaut, creating a level of excitement that few other franchises can match. Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is the latest titan in this cinematic world, and its performance has been nothing short of historic. As the film navigates its ninth week at the box office, it is not just fighting for numbers; it is solidifying its legacy as a once-in-a-generation blockbuster. Let us dive into the data to see how this heavy hitter is wrapping up its record-breaking journey. As we enter the twilight of its theatrical run, the momentum remains remarkably steady. On Day 64, which was the tenth Thursday, the film brought in a net collection of 0.20 Cr. What is interesting here for those following the trends is the absolute stability; this figure is an exact match to the 0.20 Cr collected on Wednesday. Holding its ground across 368 shows after more than two months is a clear indicator that the audience interest has not completely evaporated, even with newer releases hitting the screens. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge - Week 9 Box Office Breakdown DAY COLLECTION (NET) SHOWS OCCUPANCY Day 58 (Friday) ₹ 0.26 Cr 389 15.2% Day 59 (Saturday) ₹ 0.53 Cr 418 28.0% Day 60 (Sunday) ₹ 0.63 Cr 436 32.8% Day 61 (Monday) ₹ 0.15 Cr 389 14.0% Day 62 (Tuesday) ₹ 0.22 Cr 408 27.0% Day 63 (Wednesday) ₹ 0.20 Cr 409 16.0% Day 64 (Thursday) ₹ 0.20 Cr 368 16.0% Total Week 9 ₹ 2.19 Cr - - When analyzing the screening frequency and theater fill-rates for the week, the film maintained a footprint of 2,817 shows across the country. The average occupancy for this seven-day period stood at approximately 21.28%. While the weekdays saw a more modest turnout, the weekend surge—peaking at 32.8% on Sunday—significantly bolstered the average, proving that the film still has enough legs to draw in crowds during leisure hours even after two months of dominance. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The bigger picture is where the numbers truly become staggering. To date, the total India net collection has reached 1,146.75 Cr, while the India gross stands at 1,372.42 Cr. When we factor in the overseas market, where the film has grossed 426.67 Cr, the worldwide total hits a massive 1,799.09 Cr. This officially makes it the second highest-grossing Indian film of all time globally. This feat was achieved through a marathon run spanning 524,278 shows, showing just how wide the film was distributed to reach every corner of the audience. Looking at the ground-level engagement through ticket sales, we see a logical and expected dip. In the major national chains—PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis—the film sold a combined total of 20,963 tickets over the last seven days. While the weekend saw the usual spike, the weekday numbers show a predictable cooling off. Similarly, on BookMyShow, the movie recorded approximately 41.70K ticket sales for the week until the tracking concluded on Day 62. To give you some context, the eighth week saw about 81,000 tickets booked through the same platform, so the sales have effectively halved as the film reaches its natural saturation point. In the end, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has proven that the spy universe is a goldmine when backed by the right scale and storytelling. While a 2.19 Cr ninth week might seem small compared to its opening days, it is the finishing touch on a colossal mountain of revenue. The film has already done its job, rewriting the record books and setting a daunting benchmark for any future blockbusters to follow.

Dhurandhar: Raw and Undekha Gets Streaming Release Date On Netflix And JioHotstar

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, May 21 - The first Dhurandhar is not done yet. After the record-breaking box office run and setting viewership records on Netflix, the extended and uncensored version of Aditya Dhar's directorial is set to stream on both Netflix and JioHotstar. On Thursday, both platforms announced that the Dhurandhar: Raw & Undekha version will start streaming on May 22 in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil. The announcement quickly grabbed attention on social media, with fans expressing excitement over the alternate version. Many viewers had previously claimed that the earlier OTT release featured trimmed sequences and toned-down dialogues compared to the theatrical cut. The newly announced Raw & Undekha edition is expected to restore several of those moments while presenting the film in a grittier format. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Soon after the streaming date was revealed, confusion spread online as some users assumed the announcement was related to Dhurandhar: The Revenge. However, reports later clarified that the upcoming release is an alternate cut of the original Dhurandhar and not the sequel, which will begin streaming on JioHotstar on June 4, followed by Netflix on June 19. The film, headlined by Ranveer Singh, emerged as one of the biggest action entertainers of the year and performed exceptionally across theatrical markets. With the extended version now arriving on OTT, viewers who wanted a more uncensored experience are expected to revisit the film once again. The dual-platform release on Netflix and JioHotstar is also likely to boost the film's digital reach significantly.

Dhurandhar 2 Day 63 Box Office: 0.20 Cr Net Collection With Record-Breaking BMS Sales Streak

BY SACNILK

We are looking at the final stretch of a historic journey as Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge completes its 63rd day at the box office. If you have been tracking this film since its massive opening weekend, you know we are witnessing a rare level of theatrical stamina. As of today, the active ticket sales on digital platforms have finally come to a halt, marking the end of a record-breaking 62-day run on BookMyShow. On its ninth Wednesday, the movie added another 20 lakh rupees to its domestic net total. When we compare this to Tuesday's collection of 22 lakh, we see a very logical 9 percent dip. For a film that has been playing in theaters for over two months, this kind of stability is quite impressive. The movie operated across 409 shows today, which is just a small fraction of the massive 523,910 total shows it has screened throughout its entire run. To give you some perspective on this longevity, this sequel has officially outlasted the first Dhurandhar film (59 days). It also comfortably moved past other major hits like Chhaava (58 days), Stree 2 (57 days), and even Pushpa 2 (53 days). This 62-day streak has now set a new benchmark for modern blockbusters, showing just how much the audience was willing to keep coming back to the big screen. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) If we look at the ticket sales in the major national chains for the day, the numbers are modest but tell a consistent story. PVR recorded about 535 tickets, while INOX and Cinepolis contributed 210 and 148 tickets respectively. This brings the total tickets sold across these three major chains to 893 for the day. While these might seem like small numbers in isolation, they have been the final building blocks in pushing the total India net collection to a staggering 1,146.55 crore rupees. The global picture is even more massive. With a domestic gross of 1,372.19 crore and an overseas contribution of 426.67 crore, the worldwide total now stands at 1,798.86 crore rupees. The Hindi version alone has been the primary engine for this success, contributing over 1,078 crore to the net total, followed by significant contributions from the Telugu and Tamil markets. Even on day 63, the occupancy levels remained surprisingly healthy in key regions. In Mumbai, the film still managed a 17 percent occupancy rate, with afternoon shows peaking at 21 percent. In the National Capital Region, the overall occupancy stayed around 12 percent. These figures suggest that even with a limited show count, the film continued to find a dedicated audience in the major metros right until the end. Ultimately, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is finishing its theatrical run exactly how it started: by rewriting the record books. It is not just about the final 1,800 crore gross milestone, but about the incredible endurance it showed over nine long weeks. As the curtains finally close on this run, it leaves behind a legacy that will be a massive challenge for any upcoming release to match.

Dhurandhar 2 Day 62 Box Office: Sequel earns 0.22 crore and posts a massive 46% jump in ninth week

Entering the ninth week of a theatrical run is a significant milestone for any modern blockbuster, but doing so with a visible growth spurt is nearly unheard of. Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge continues to rewrite the record books, proving that its theatrical lifecycle is far from over even as it enters its 62nd day of release. On Tuesday, the film added a net of 0.22 crore to its kitty. While the absolute number is smaller due to the natural reduction in screen count, it represents a substantial 46.7 percent jump compared to Monday's collection of 0.15 crore. For a film to post a nearly 50 percent mid-week increase in its ninth week is a clear signal of sustained demand for the 408 shows still running across the country. With this daily haul, the total India net collection has reached a staggering 1,146.35 crore. A deep dive into the language breakdown shows the Hindi version leading with 1,077.81 crore, while the Telugu and Tamil versions have contributed 43.07 crore and 19.83 crore respectively. The total India gross for the film now stands at a towering 1,371.95 crore. Regionally, the film is holding fort exceptionally well in major metros. Mumbai led the charge on Day 62 with an impressive 30.8 percent occupancy over 38 shows, with night screenings peaking at 38 percent. The National Capital Region followed closely with 27.5 percent occupancy across 70 shows. Even in Ahmedabad, the film maintained a 21 percent occupancy rate, demonstrating that audience interest remains geographically diverse even after two months in theaters. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In the national multiplex chains, the film recorded 3,570 ticket sales across 280 shows, resulting in a daily gross of 5.30 lakh from these specific venues. PVR remained the top contributor among the chains with 1,645 tickets sold. The 7.5 percent occupancy in these premium formats suggests that the film is effectively filling its allocated seats, ensuring that every show remains commercially viable for exhibitors. Digital tracking through BookMyShow further validates this late-stage surge. Daily ticket bookings climbed from 5.24 thousand on Monday to 6.8 thousand on Tuesday. Since its release, the film has sold a historic total of over 1.83 crore tickets on this platform alone. This level of digital footprint reflects a level of popularity that few films in the history of Indian cinema have managed to achieve. The global story is equally impressive. The film has grossed 426.67 crore in overseas markets so far. When combined with the domestic performance, the total worldwide gross for Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge now stands at a massive 1,798.62 crore. The film is now just a few steps away from breaching the 1,800 crore global milestone, a feat that would further cement its place in the all-time record books.

Dhurandhar The Revenge OTT Views: Sequel hits 1.8M views and secures a top global spot for non-English films

The Dhurandhar franchise is currently witnessing a rare phenomenon on Netflix, where both the prequel and the newly released sequel are dominating global and regional charts simultaneously. While the sequel, Dhurandhar The Revenge (Raw & Undekha), is making waves across international markets, the original film continues to hold its ground in India with remarkable consistency. In its debut week between May 11 and May 17, 2026, Dhurandhar The Revenge has secured the number 5 spot on Netflix's Global Top 10 for Non-English movies. The film garnered 1.8 million views (18 lakh views) in its first weekend alone. Despite its massive runtime of 3 hours and 52 minutes, it clocked an impressive 6.8 million hours viewed (68 lakh hours), indicating high audience retention despite the length. What makes this global success particularly interesting is that the sequel is currently not streaming in India. Despite this, the film has managed to hit the number 1 spot in 9 different countries and featured in the Top 10 across 17 countries worldwide. The franchise's reach has expanded across continents, including significant traction in Europe, Africa, and Oceania.

Additionally, it trended in the Top 10 in Nigeria (Africa), Malta (Europe), Australia, and New Zealand (Oceania). This widespread appeal showcases the franchise's transition into a global action brand. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) While the sequel conquers the world, the prequel, Dhurandhar, is creating its own legacy in the Indian market. The original film has remarkably spent 16 weeks in the Top 10 in India, currently sitting at the number 5 position. This longevity is nearly unheard of in the streaming era, where content cycles usually last only a few weeks. The prequel is also trending in the Top 10 in Bangladesh and Pakistan, making the franchise a dominant force across the entire South Asian subcontinent. India: Prequel has spent 16 weeks in the Top 10 (Sequel not released). Bangladesh: Sequel is ranked #1; Prequel is currently in the Top 10. Pakistan: Sequel is ranked #1; Prequel is currently in the Top 10. UAE / Qatar: Sequel is ranked #1. The fact that both installments of the franchise are holding the number 5 spot simultaneously—one on the global chart and the other in India—highlights a very efficient viewership cycle. It suggests that while the sequel is successfully capturing the international market, the Indian audience remains consistently engaged with the original film and the character of Hamza.
