Dhurandhar 2 Release Date 18 or 19 March?

The wait for the sequel to the massive spy-thriller Dhurandhar is almost over. Fans of Ranveer Singh and director Aditya Dhar have been buzzing with questions about whether the film, officially titled Dhurandhar: The Revenge, releases on March 18 or March 19, 2026.

The answer is actually both, depending on how early you want to catch the action.

The Official Release Schedule

To maximize the hype and take advantage of the festive weekend (Gudi Padwa, Ugadi, and Eid al-Fitr), the makers have planned a strategic rollout:

• Paid Previews (March 18, 2026): For those who can’t wait, the film will have large-scale paid previews starting from 5:00 PM on Wednesday, March 18. These early screenings are happening in major cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, and overseas markets like North America.
• Grand Worldwide Release (March 19, 2026): The official, full-day theatrical release is scheduled for Thursday, March 19. This is when the movie becomes available across all screens in five languages: Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam.

Massive Box Office Momentum

The decision to hold previews on the 18th seems to be paying off. According to recent trade reports:

• Advance Bookings: The film has already shattered records, with worldwide pre-sales crossing the ₹120 crore mark before the first show even begins.
• Solo Run: After the postponement of Yash’s Toxic to June, Dhurandhar 2 is enjoying a solo window, allowing it to dominate the box office entirely.
• IMAX & Special Formats: Fans are flocking to premium screens, with ticket prices in some Mumbai theaters touching ₹3,100 due to the massive demand.

What to Expect in Part 2

Dhurandhar: The Revenge picks up directly from the cliffhanger of the first film. Ranveer Singh returns as the Indian spy Jaskirat Singh Rangi (Hamza), continuing his high-stakes mission in Pakistan’s underworld. The ensemble cast remains a major draw, featuring Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, and Sara Arjun.

Note: The film has received an ‘A’ (Adults Only) rating due to its intense action and gritty themes, and it features a long runtime of nearly four hours.
