About Dhurandhar 2
Dhurandhar 2 is written, directed and produced by Aditya Dhar. The film is a sequel to the 2025 hit Dhurandhar, which grossed over ₹1300 crore worldwide. The Dhurandhar franchise’s collective collection of over ₹2000 crore has surpassed Allu Arjun’s hit Pushpa franchise. The film stars Ranveer Singh, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Sara Arjun, Rakesh Bedi, Gaurav Gera, Danish Pandor, and Manav Gohil.
Dhurandhar draws inspiration from several real-world events, including Operation Lyari, the 2014 Indian general election, the 2016 Indian banknote demonetisation, and others. It tells the story of an Indian spy, Jaskirat Singh Rangi (Ranveer), alias Hamza Ali Mazari, who is sent to Lyari, Pakistan, to infiltrate a Baloch gang and bring down a terrorist unit. Despite mixed reviews from critics, both Dhurandhar films have performed well at the box office.
Dhurandhar 2 was released in theatres in all South Indian languages and Hindi. It is the highest-grossing Indian film of 2026 so far and one of the highest-grossing Indian films of all time.
