In a move that has taken the entertainment industry by surprise, Aditya Dhar's highly anticipated action thriller 'Dhurandhar' has made its digital debut today on the popular streaming platform Netflix. The film, which features Ranveer Singh in the lead role, arrived on the OTT service with absolutely no promotional buildup, mirroring the unconventional marketing strategy employed before its theatrical release.
A Stealth Digital Premiere
The official announcement regarding the streaming date was made only on the very day the film became available for online viewing. This unexpected approach has generated significant buzz among cinephiles and industry observers alike. Alongside the release, the makers have dropped a short, one-minute teaser that encapsulates the film's most thrilling moments.

The promotional clip opens with Ranveer Singh's character, Hamza Mazhari, delivering a powerful line in the background: "Agar tum logon ke pataakhe khatam ho gaye toh, main dhamaaka shuru karu?" This sets the tone for the high-energy sequences that follow. The teaser provides quick glimpses of the formidable supporting cast, including Sanjay Dutt as SP Chaudhary, Akshaye Khanna as Rehman Dakait, Arjun Rampal as Major Iqbal, and R. Madhavan as Ajay Sanyal.
Packed with explosive action shots and dramatic confrontations, the video is underscored by the film's pulsating title track. It concludes with a clear call-to-action: "Watch Now on Netflix."

Interestingly, while the film is now accessible to streaming audiences, it continues its successful run in cinemas across the country.
Blockbuster Box Office Performance
The film has proven to be a monumental commercial success. Having hit theaters on December 5, 2025, 'Dhurandhar' has shattered records by crossing the Rs 1300 crore mark at the global box office.
