Ranveer Singh's action-packed film 'Dhurandhar' made its successful digital debut on January 30, 2026, garnering significant appreciation from audiences on the OTT platform. The movie's popularity has set the stage for its highly anticipated sequel, 'Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge,' which is scheduled to hit theaters in March this year.
Streaming Platform Shift: From Netflix to JioHotstar
Ahead of its theatrical release, the makers of 'Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge' have revealed a significant change in their digital strategy. The first poster released today prominently features JioHotstar as the official streaming partner, marking a shift from Netflix, which hosted the first installment.
According to industry reports, while Netflix secured rights for the initial film, JioHotstar has successfully acquired digital streaming rights for the sequel. A source close to the production stated, 'Dhurandhar 2' is highly awaited by fans and has already been declared a blockbuster by trade analysts. Given the tremendous buzz and interest surrounding the film, it's natural that all major platforms competed for it. JioHotstar clearly emerged victorious over Netflix this time.
The same report indicates that following an eight-week theatrical window, the movie is expected to become available for streaming on JioHotstar starting May 14, 2026.
Music Rights Transition to T-Series
In another strategic partnership change, Bhushan Kumar's T-Series has secured the music rights for 'Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge.' This represents a shift from the first film, which collaborated with Saregama, primarily because the original movie incorporated several classic tracks into its soundtrack.
