Ranveer Singh’s highly anticipated film, “Dhurandhar 2,” is set to make waves in the OTT landscape. The sequel will be available on Netflix for international audiences and JioHotstar exclusively in India. This dual-platform release strategy is generating substantial buzz among fans.
Dhurandhar 2 Streaming Details
The film will begin streaming on Netflix between May 14 and 15, 2026, depending on different time zones. However, Indian viewers will only find it on JioHotstar. This decision has clarified the confusion regarding the digital release, especially since the original film had previously streamed on Netflix.
Extended Version for Global Audience
Outside India, “Dhurandhar 2” will be marketed as “Dhurandhar: The Revenge (Raw & Undekha).” This version boasts an extended runtime of approximately three hours and fifty-two minutes, making it longer than the theatrical version, which was three hours and forty-nine minutes. The streaming edition brings back additional scenes and dialogues, featuring more intense violence that may have been cut for the cinematic release.
Significant Deal for JioHotstar
In India, JioHotstar has acquired exclusive streaming rights for “Dhurandhar 2” in a deal reportedly worth nearly ₹150 crore. This is being hailed as one of the largest OTT agreements for an Indian film recently. Indian subscribers can also expect to watch the extended version upon its release on JioHotstar.
Trends in Indian Cinema
The release of “Dhurandhar 2” highlights a growing trend in Indian cinema where filmmakers leverage OTT platforms to showcase extended or uncensored cuts post-theatrical runs. With its almost four-hour runtime and distinct branding strategies for international and domestic markets, “Dhurandhar 2” exemplifies this shift in how films are consumed in the digital age.
