The wait is officially over for the legion of fans following the record-breaking trajectory of Ranveer Singh’s latest blockbuster. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has officially cleared the teaser for the much-anticipated sequel, confirming the title as Dhurandhar: The Revenge.
With the first installment currently dominating the box office as the highest-grossing Hindi film in history, the stakes for this second chapter have reached a fever pitch. Here is everything we know about the gritty return of this espionage franchise.
Censor Board Grants 'A' Certificate to Gritty Teaser
On Monday, January 19, the CBFC reviewed the teaser for Dhurandhar: The Revenge and granted it an ‘A’ (Adults Only) certificate. Clocking in at approximately 1 minute and 48 seconds, the teaser is reportedly more intense and violent than its predecessor.
This rating mirrors the first part of the franchise, which also received an ‘A’ certificate due to its raw, high-octane action sequences. Rather than acting as a deterrent, the mature rating for the first film helped it carve out a niche as a high-stakes thriller, eventually leading it to earn a staggering ₹879.75 crore in India alone.
A Strategic Big-Screen Debut with Border 2
In a masterstroke of marketing, the makers have decided to attach the Dhurandhar 2 teaser to the theatrical prints of Sunny Deol’s Border 2, releasing this Friday, January 23.
-
Big Screen Exclusive: The teaser will first be available only in theaters to capitalize on the patriotic fervor surrounding Border 2.
-
Digital Release: Fans can expect the high-definition digital launch on social media platforms shortly after the theatrical premiere.

Director’s Touch: Aditya Dhar has reportedly added exclusive new shots to the teaser to ensure the "Revenge" theme is felt from the very first frame.
The Ultimate Box Office Clash: Dhurandhar 2 vs. Toxic
Mark your calendars for March 19, 2026, as the Indian film industry braces for one of its biggest showdowns. Dhurandhar: The Revenge is set to clash directly with KGF superstar Yash’s next big project, Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-ups.
While Yash has a massive pan-India following, Dhurandhar currently holds the momentum of being a fresh, record-breaking hit. Trade analysts are calling this the "Clash of the Titans," as both films target a similar demographic of action-loving audiences.
Why 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge' Matters Right Now
In the current landscape of Indian cinema, high-concept patriotic thrillers are the gold standard. Dhurandhar 2 is not just a sequel; it is the continuation of a "Dhurandhar Universe" that has captured the public's imagination by blending real-life geopolitical tensions with cinematic flair.
For the audience, this sequel represents the evolution of Ranveer Singh as a premier action star and reinforces Aditya Dhar’s reputation for delivering sophisticated, high-budget espionage dramas that rival international standards.
