The spy thriller Dhurandhar: The Revenge, also known as Dhurandhar 2, has completed seven weeks in theatres and continues its strong box office run, setting new records for Bollywood. Directed by Aditya Dhar and starring Ranveer Singh, the film has become the biggest Hindi film in India and one of the top-grossing Indian films worldwide.
Legal Dispute Offers Clues About OTT Release
While the film is still playing in cinemas, interest in its OTT release is growing. Although the makers have not made any official announcement, a legal case involving the film has provided some clues about their plans. The film used the song Tirchi Topiwale in its climax, presenting it in a remixed form titled Rang De Laal, composed by Shashwat Sachdev. Rajiv Rai, who directed and produced Tridev (where the original song appeared), has taken legal action against the makers, alleging unauthorized use of the track. The Delhi High Court had earlier asked both parties to resolve the dispute through mediation, but on Wednesday, it was informed that the mediation process did not succeed.
Court Hearing Reveals OTT Timeline
According to Hindustan Times, Super Cassettes, which holds the audio and music rights for Dhurandhar 2, opposed the petitioner's plea for interim relief during the hearing. The film's producer, B62 Films, told the court that the film has already been released in theatres and is unlikely to be available on OTT before mid-May. This timeline aligns with the typical 8–10 week gap between a film's theatrical release and its streaming debut. Dhurandhar 2 is set to complete eight weeks in cinemas on May 14.
Streaming Platform Details
The original Dhurandhar, released in December 2025, arrived on streaming platforms eight weeks after its theatrical debut, on January 30. While the first film was released on Netflix, the sequel is set to stream on JioHotstar.
Cast, Story, and Box Office Records
Dhurandhar 2, directed by Aditya Dhar, is a spy thriller starring Ranveer Singh as an Indian agent in Karachi. The two films together have earned over Rs 3100 crore worldwide. The cast also includes Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, R Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, Rakesh Bedi, and Sara Arjun. The sequel has created several box office records, including the biggest opening for a Bollywood film and the highest collection in India for a Hindi movie. It is the only Hindi film to cross Rs 1000 crore net domestically. With a global total nearing Rs 1800 crore, it is currently the second-highest-grossing Indian film ever.
