Taking to their handles post the film's OTT debut on Netflix for international viewing, netizens pointed out several notable differences between the streaming version and the theatrical cut released in India.

Ranveer Singh's scene changed in OTT version

While Indian audiences continue to await confirmation about the film’s domestic OTT premiere, social media users have already begun sharing screenshots and clips comparing the uncensored OTT version with the theatrical release screened in Indian cinemas. Several viewers claimed that violent scenes appeared more graphic and extended in the streaming cut. One user wrote, “They changed Hamza's reaction in the OTT uncensored version!!!" Another shared a glimpse of the famed 'hammer scene' that was edited out of the film saying, "Censor board saale theatre version mai ish scene ka pura peak 10 sec kaat diya."



Another fan commented, "This doesn’t feel like a normal OTT version at all. Feels like they unlocked the darker side of the film now." A separate post criticised the theatrical censorship, stating, “Bro they have shown brutal scenes in uncensored version of Dhurandhar the Revenge.

Still another added, "CBFC you ruined an A rated film peak experience."

Another hailed actor Danish Pandor's gory scene where his character plays football with a rival's severed head. The scene was trimmed by 25-30 seconds by the CBFC due to its intense nature. Reacting to the scene playing out on OTT, one wrote, “Damn, uncensored version truly showed Uzair's insanity.”

Fans also noted technical and editing changes in the OTT release, including background music tweaks, revised text placement and altered end-credit sequences. “Music also improved in some scenes in OTT version,” one viewer claime.

One social media user noted the change in typography and font used in both versions, writing, “As you can see, the Roman text was slightly bigger in the theatrical version, and was shifted upwards to accommodate the smaller Devanagari text below it. I feel the OTT text size and placement looks much better.”

Some also claimed that a post-credit scene featuring Omar had been removed from the streaming version.

Viewers further alleged that several violent moments, including a hammer attack and a football scene, were longer and more graphic in the OTT cut.


Directed by Aditya Dhar, the sequel also stars Sara Arjun, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Rakesh Bedi and Gaurav Gera in key roles.

The franchise recently crossed the Rs 3000 crore mark worldwide, emerging as one of the year’s biggest commercial successes in the Hindi film industry.
