The much-anticipated teaser for Dhurandhar The Revenge, the sequel to the 2025 blockbuster, has finally been unveiled by the makers. Directed by Aditya Dhar, this upcoming Bollywood film stars Ranveer Singh reprising his role as Agent Jaskirat Singh Rangi, but the teaser has sparked mixed reactions from fans and netizens alike.
Teaser Reception and Fan Reactions
Upon its release, the teaser for Dhurandhar The Revenge quickly went viral, with many viewers noting that it features no new scenes. Instead, it showcases a montage of old footage from the first installment, set to Night Rider-style music. This has led to a wave of comments on social media, where netizens have expressed disappointment, telling Ranveer Singh 'Chuna Laga Diya' (meaning 'you've been tricked' or 'it's a letdown') due to the repetitive look and gore.
Ranveer Singh's Promotional Efforts
Earlier on the same day, Ranveer Singh teased fans with a new poster from the film. The poster depicts his character in a brutal, blood-soaked appearance during rain, with the word 'Revenge' prominently displayed behind him. Sharing this on social media, Singh wrote, 'Ab Bigadne Ka Waqt Aa Gaya Hai' (Now is the time to go wild), and announced the teaser release at 12:12 PM. He also confirmed the film's worldwide release date of 19th March 2026 in multiple Indian languages, including Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam.
Film Details and Cast
Dhurandhar The Revenge continues the story from the first film, which was set in Lyari, Karachi, Pakistan, and revolved around a covert intelligence operation by an undercover Indian agent tasked with eliminating Rehman Dakait. The plot highlights real-life geopolitical events such as:
- The 1999 IC-814 hijacking
- The 2001 Indian Parliament attack
- The 2008 Mumbai attacks
- Developments linked to Pakistan's Operation Lyari
The cast includes Ranveer Singh alongside Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, R Madhavan, Sara Arjun, and Rakesh Bedi. The first film, released on 5th December 2025, was a massive success, earning ₹836.95 crore net in India and ₹1,303 crore worldwide, and is now available for streaming on Netflix.
Box Office Clash with Toxic
One of the most talked-about aspects of Dhurandhar The Revenge is its scheduled release date, which sets up a direct box office clash with Yash's upcoming film, Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups. Both films are slated for a pan-India release on 19th March 2026, promising a high-stakes competition at the box office. This clash has added to the buzz and anticipation among fans of both stars.
Production and Release Strategy
The film is produced under the banners of Aditya Dhar Films, Jio Studios, B62 Studios, T-Series, and JioHotstar, with Star Gold as a partner. As the second installment in a two-part series, Dhurandhar The Revenge aims to build on the success of its predecessor, despite the initial criticism over the teaser's content. The makers are likely banking on the franchise's strong fan base and the star power of its ensemble cast to drive viewership.
In summary, while the teaser for Dhurandhar The Revenge has faced backlash for its lack of new footage, the film remains a highly anticipated release in Bollywood. With its gripping plot, stellar cast, and a major box office clash on the horizon, it is set to be a significant event in Indian cinema come March 2026.
