‘Dhurandhar’ Part 2 release date: Ranveer Singh’s action sequel to arrive in March 2026, set to clash with Yash’s ‘Toxic’

Bollywood fans were in for a big surprise as ‘Dhurandhar’ released in cinemas across India on December 5. The film marks the first half of a two-part saga, and the makers have already locked the release date for the second instalment. Audiences who stayed back after the climax of ‘Dhurandhar’ were treated to a major reveal. The post-credit scene officially confirmed that the story will continue in ‘Dhurandhar 2’.

When will ‘Dhurandhar 2’ release?

‘Dhurandhar 2’ will arrive in theatres on March 19, 2026, setting up a high-voltage box office clash with Yash’s ‘Toxic’ and Bollywood’s ‘Dhamaal 4’. The first film, which released on 5 December, is one of the longest Bollywood movies ever, running for over 3 hours and 30 minutes, even surpassing the length of ‘Jodhaa Akbar’. This announcement also hints that both parts were shot together, which explains the short three-month gap between the two releases.




Directed by Aditya Dhar, ‘Dhurandhar’ features a powerful line-up including Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, R Madhavan, Sara Arjun and Rakesh Bedi.

Rakesh Bedi shares insight on ‘Dhurandhar’ Part 2

Veteran actor Rakesh Bedi, who appears in both instalments, opened up about his role and confirmed that the film was always planned as a two-part series. He revealed that his character will have a far bigger impact in the sequel.

Bedi said in an interview with ITV Blink, “I am eagerly waiting for this film. Last year, in January, when the film was starting, Aditya offered me this role in Dhurandhar. In this film, I am playing a very different role, and that will be revealed in the second part. In Dhurandhar Part 1, I will be seen a little less, but I will be seen more in the second part. The second instalment is around the corner, it is ready and will be released in a month or two. My character is very endearing and menacing. It is inspired by a real-life politician from Pakistan; my look also resembles him.”

‘Dhurandhar’ review

The first instalment of ‘Dhurandhar’ has already started receiving positive reactions. The Times of India gave the film 3.5/5 stars and the review stated, “Ranveer Singh returns to claim his number one spot in a layered, restrained avatar that plays to his strengths. His look — long locks, a grungy beard, and a piercing stare — may evoke comparisons to Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal, but the performance and tone are entirely different. Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, Rakesh Bedi, and Danish Pandor deliver solid supporting turns that enrich the narrative. Sara Arjun is likeable in her part.”
