After the massive success of Dhurandhar, fans have been eagerly awaiting its sequel. Titled Dhurandhar: The Revenge, the upcoming film promises to be bigger, longer, and more intense. With its trailer set to release around Holi, excitement is at an all-time high.
🎬 A Sequel That’s Even Longer Than the Original
Directed by Aditya Dhar, the sequel is reportedly pushing boundaries in terms of scale and runtime.
The first Dhurandhar had a runtime of 3 hours and 34 minutes (214.01 minutes). However, Dhurandhar: The Revenge is said to run approximately 235 minutes (3 hours and 55 minutes). In some regions, a slightly shorter cut of about 3 hours and 40 minutes may be screened.
If confirmed, this would make it one of the longest Hindi films ever made — second only to LOC Kargil, which ran for 4 hours and 7 minutes.
Trade insiders say the decision reflects strong audience demand, as viewers remain deeply invested in the high-stakes spy universe introduced in the first film.
⭐ Star-Studded Cast Returns
The sequel boasts a powerhouse ensemble cast including:
- Ranveer Singh
- Akshaye Khanna
- Sanjay Dutt
- R. Madhavan
- Arjun Rampal
- Sara Arjun
- Rakesh Bedi
The original film followed an Indian spy navigating Pakistan’s criminal and political network, eventually becoming one of Bollywood’s highest-grossing films.
📅 Trailer Release on Holi
The trailer for Dhurandhar: The Revenge is expected to drop on March 3, just ahead of Holi celebrations. Instead of a grand red-carpet event, the makers are reportedly opting for a direct digital release.
The film itself is slated to hit theatres on March 19, 2026.
⚔️ Big Box Office Clash Ahead
The sequel will face stiff competition at the box office from Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, directed by Geetu Mohandas and starring:
- Yash
- Kiara Advani
- Nayanthara
- Huma Qureshi
The trailer for Toxic will reportedly be unveiled on March 8 in Bengaluru, setting up one of the biggest cinematic face-offs of 2026.
🔥 What to Expect
With an extended runtime, high-octane action, and a powerful ensemble cast, Dhurandhar: The Revenge aims to raise the stakes significantly. Whether audiences embrace a nearly four-hour cinematic experience remains to be seen — but one thing is certain: this Holi, Bollywood fans are in for a spectacle.
