The highly anticipated Bollywood film Dhurandhar 2 hit theaters today, with live updates pouring in from early screenings and paid previews. The film marks the return of Ranveer Singh in the role of Jaskirat Singh Rangi, aka Hamza Ali Mazari, in what is being hailed as one of the biggest releases of 2026.
Arguably the largest premiere in Bollywood history, Dhurandhar 2 was previewed on March 18 evening across approximately 10,000 shows on 6,000 screens nationwide. The film’s release has generated enormous buzz, fueled by the phenomenal success of its predecessor, Dhurandhar Part 1, which released on December 5, 2025, and grossed an impressive ₹1300 crore worldwide.
Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar 2 is expected to replicate or even surpass the blockbuster performance of the first installment. Trade insiders are optimistic, with early estimates suggesting an opening collection of over ₹100 crore domestically — potentially making it the biggest Bollywood opening in history. The film has already set a record for the largest worldwide Bollywood opening through advance bookings alone, reflecting immense audience anticipation.
Produced by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, the star cast includes R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, alongside Ranveer Singh. The film also features Rakesh Bedi, Danish Pandore, and Sara Arjun in key roles, with rumors swirling about special cameos by Yami Gautam and Emraan Hashmi.
As the film officially releases today, audiences and critics alike are eager to see if Dhurandhar 2 will live up to the enormous expectations set by its predecessor and the massive pre-release hype. Stay tuned for live updates and reviews.
