The countdown is over. Ranveer Singh's highly anticipated cinematic spectacle, Dhurandhar, is set to storm into theatres nationwide on December 5, 2025. While the film's slick trailer and promise of high-octane action have generated immense excitement, a heartfelt show of support from off-screen has equally captured the public's imagination, adding a personal touch to the pre-release frenzy.
Deepika Padukone's Powerful Gesture of Support
As the buzz for her husband's film reached a peak, Bollywood superstar Deepika Padukone stepped in with a quiet yet powerful display of encouragement. On Thursday night, she took to her Instagram Stories to share the intense new poster of Dhurandhar, which features Ranveer Singh in a shirtless, gritty avatar, cigarette in hand. The poster also carried the crucial announcement that advance bookings for the film were now open.
This wasn't her first nod to the project. Earlier, Deepika had shared the film's trailer with a succinct but impactful caption: "The chameleon is back," a clear acknowledgment of Ranveer Singh's renowned ability to transform himself completely for a role. These gestures from one of India's biggest stars sent fans into a delighted frenzy, effectively amplifying the film's visibility and highlighting the power couple's strong off-screen bond.
CBFC Certificate Unveils Gripping Historical Plot
Adding to the intrigue, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) certificate for Dhurandhar went viral unexpectedly for revealing key plot details. The board has granted the film an 'A' (Adults only) certificate, setting the stage for its mature and violent content.
The certificate discloses that the story is anchored in two pivotal events in modern Indian history: the IC-814 hijacking in 1999 and the 2001 Indian Parliament attack. The plot follows India's Intelligence Bureau chief, Ajay Sanyal, as he masterminds a perilous mission to dismantle a terrorist network operating from Pakistan. The mission's unconventional weapon? A 20-year-old captive from Punjab, who is trained to infiltrate the criminal underworld of Karachi. This twist promises a narrative filled with espionage, strategy, and raw action.
What Awaits Audiences in Dhurandhar
Directed by National Award-winner Aditya Dhar, the visionary behind Uri: The Surgical Strike, Dhurandhar is being touted as one of the most violent films ever made in Indian cinema. Ranveer Singh headlines the cast, starring alongside Sara Arjun. The film boasts a formidable ensemble supporting cast, including heavyweights like Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, Akshaye Khanna, and R. Madhavan.
Since its release, the trailer has been widely praised for its:
- Slick, high-production visuals
- Consistently dark and gritty tone
- Hollywood-scale action sequences
Fans and critics alike are hailing it as potentially Ranveer Singh's most intense and physically demanding performance to date, marking a significant departure from some of his recent roles. All eyes are now on the box office as Dhurandhar prepares for its nationwide release on Friday, December 5, 2025.
