Every blockbuster has an origin story, and **Dhurandhar** has a dramatic one. A postponed trailer launch, a nervous wait, and then a film that rewrote box-office records. Let’s rewind.

## Dhurandhar Trailer: The Delay and the Big Reveal

The trailer launch was first put on hold after the Delhi blast, with a new date promised later. The makers then announced a fresh slot: the trailer would release on 18 November, with the film arriving in theatres three weeks later. It launched at a grand event in Mumbai and introduced the characters without revealing much of the storyline.

## Why Dhurandhar Clicked With Audiences?

The trailer promised a gritty, high-intensity ride. It opened with Arjun Rampal as Major Iqbal of ISI before panning to Ranveer in long hair and a beard. Add R Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna and Aditya Dhar’s direction, and the film had both star power and swagger. It also confirmed a big-screen release, ending rumours of a direct-to-streaming debut.
