About Dhurandhar

Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar is an action thriller that redefined the scale of political spy dramas. Shot as an ambitious back-to-back cinematic saga, the story centres on undercover operative Jaskirat Singh Rangi, played by Ranveer Singh, who operates under the deep-cover identity of Hamza Ali Mazari to infiltrate dangerous transnational criminal syndicates.

The first film hit theatres in December 2025, followed by its explosive sequel, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, in March 2026.

Backed by a star-studded ensemble cast featuring Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal, the franchise emerged as one of India’s biggest box office successes, becoming the second-highest-grossing Indian film after Aamir Khan’s Dangal.
