Dhurandhar's Digital Debut on Netflix Follows Record-Breaking Box Office Run
Aditya Dhar's cinematic spectacle 'Dhurandhar' has successfully transitioned from theaters to the digital realm, premiering on Netflix at midnight on Friday. This move comes after the film's phenomenal theatrical performance, where it amassed a staggering over Rs 1300 crore globally, rewriting box office history by surpassing 'Pushpa 2: The Rule' to become the highest-grossing Hindi film of all time.
Strategic Silence Pays Off Again
Interestingly, the makers have replicated their theatrical release strategy for the OTT premiere. Before the film's initial release, the cast, including Ranveer Singh, refrained from extensive promotions, placing their faith solely in the film's content. This unconventional approach proved immensely successful, and the team has now adopted a similar low-key strategy for its digital debut.
While rumors had circulated about a January 30, 2026, premiere, there was no official confirmation until Netflix India made the surprise announcement via social media at midnight. The streaming giant shared the film's poster with the caption: "DHURANDHAR Watch the Epic Saga unfold. Now out on Netflix in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu."
Director Aditya Dhar on the New Chapter
According to ANI reports, director Aditya Dhar expressed his enthusiasm for this new phase. He stated, "The theatrical response to Dhurandhar was deeply humbling, especially witnessing audiences connect with its story, characters, and scale. With its release on Netflix, the film begins a new chapter. Reaching farther, inviting new viewers to discover its layers and revisit its moments in their own time."
Film Details and Future Plans
The espionage action thriller boasts an ensemble cast featuring:
- Ranveer Singh
- Akshaye Khanna
- Sanjay Dutt
- Arjun Rampal
- R Madhavan
- Rakesh Bedi
- Sara Arjun
Originally released in theaters on December 5, 2025, the film is now accessible on Netflix in multiple Indian languages, including Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu, broadening its audience reach significantly.
Looking ahead, 'Dhurandhar' is planned as a two-part franchise. The sequel is already scheduled for a theatrical release on March 19, 2026, promising to continue the epic saga that has captivated audiences worldwide.
