In a surprise twist that has sent shockwaves through social media, Ranveer Singh’s monumental blockbuster Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge made its digital debut in Pakistan days ahead of its scheduled release in India. While Indian audiences are counting down the days until its premier on JioHotstar on June 4, viewers across the border woke up to the high-octane actioner on Netflix on May 15.
This staggering rollout has caught fans off guard, highlighting the immense global demand for the film following its legendary run on the big screen.
The “Dhurandhar” Effect: High Traffic Crashes Netflix Servers in Pakistan
The early arrival of the action spectacle triggered an absolute frenzy among Pakistani movie buffs. According to viral videos shared by prominent Pakistani content creator Maviya Umer Farooqui (@kaam_wali_baat), the sheer volume of fans rushing to stream the film at midnight caused Netflix’s regional servers to temporarily crash.
“Pakistanis were just waiting for midnight for Netflix to drop the film, and everyone clicked at once,” Farooqui shared in a video documenting the digital hysteria. Industry insiders suggest that this staggered international release is likely due to pre-existing regional streaming rights and separate contract agreements across different South Asian territories.
The Grand Indian Premiere Awaits: ‘Raw and Undekha’ Version Promised
While Pakistani fans are already devouring the movie, the delay has only amplified the anticipation back home in India. Dhurandhar 2 is currently holding its ground as the second-highest-grossing Indian film of all time, having raked in a mind-boggling ₹1,800 crore worldwide.
When the film finally hits JioHotstar on June 5, Indian fans will be treated to a special ‘Raw and Undekha’ cut. This exclusive streaming edition boasts an extended runtime featuring uncut violence, sharper dialogues, and deleted scenes that were trimmed for the theatrical release, making the upcoming Indian premiere well worth the wait.
