The ‘Dhurandhar’ Phenomenon

Directed by Aditya Dhar (Uri: The Surgical Strike), the film stars Ranveer Singh as Hamza, an undercover Indian spy navigating the criminal underworld of Karachi.

• The Ensemble: The film features powerhouse performances by Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, and Akshaye Khanna.
• Global Impact: Despite being banned in several Middle Eastern countries, the film saw historic numbers in North America, surpassing Pathaan to become the 3rd highest-grossing Indian film in the territory.

What’s Next?

The massive success has already prompted the greenlighting of Dhurandhar 2, scheduled for a March 19, 2026 release. Unlike the first part, the sequel will be a pan-India release, dubbed in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam from day one to meet the organic demand from South Indian audiences.
