Dhurandhar: The Revenge

Dhurandhar, directed by Aditya Dhar and starring Ranveer Singh, emerged as one of the most talked-about Hindi films following its release in late 2025. The film revolves around an undercover Indian intelligence officer caught in a high-stakes counter-terrorism mission, with the narrative delving into complex cross-border networks and the intense realities of covert operations.

Ranveer Singh plays Hamza Ali Mazari in Dhurandhar, a young man who infiltrates Rehman Dakait’s (Akshaye Khanna) gang while secretly working as a spy for India. He later marries Yalina (Sara Arjun), the daughter of politician Jameel Jamali (Rakesh Bedi), adding layers to the intense narrative inspired by real-life incidents such as Operation Lyari.

The movie's sequel 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge' will hit the theatres on Friday, March 19, 2026. In the second part, Ranveer can be seen in dual avatars — Jaskirat and Hamza — with the story promising a gripping mix of action, emotion and vengeance.

The film also features R. Madhavan as strategic mastermind Ajay Sanyal, Arjun Rampal as ISI Major Iqbal, and Sanjay Dutt as SP Chaudhary Aslam. The powerful tagline “Honsla. Eendhan. Badla.” underscores the revenge-driven narrative, setting the stage for an intense sequel slated for release on March 19.
