What Made Dhurandhar a Historic Blockbuster?
Released on December 5, 2025, Dhurandhar emerged as the highest-grossing Indian film of 2025, beating Chhaava and Kantara: Chapter 1, with a worldwide total exceeding ₹1,300 crore. Indian Broadcasting World
The spy film genre — long dominated by Hollywood franchises — found its definitive Indian blockbuster in Dhurandhar. Directed by Aditya Dhar (of Uri: The Surgical Strike fame), the film follows a decade-long Indian intelligence operation where Ranveer Singh’s undercover agent Jaskirat Singh Rangi infiltrates Karachi’s criminal and political underworld. The ensemble cast — Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, R. Madhavan, Sara Arjun — delivered one of Bollywood’s finest ensemble performances in years.
What to Expect from Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge
The sequel continues directly from the first film’s cliffhanger, with Ranveer Singh appearing in dual personas as Jaskirat and Hamza. R. Madhavan returns as strategist Ajay Sanyal, Arjun Rampal plays ISI Major Iqbal and Sanjay Dutt returns as SP Chaudhary Aslam — with the preview emphasising high-octane action set pieces and dramatic confrontations.
