From box-office storm to Netflix: Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar arrives on OTT

Directed by Aditya Dhar, the high-octane espionage drama premiered on the OTT platform on Friday and is available in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.

Produced by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, the film also stars Sara Arjun, 20, as Ranveer Singh’s romantic interest. The ensemble cast includes Sanjay Dutt and R. Madhavan in pivotal roles.

Set against real-life incidents such as the 1999 IC-814 hijacking and the 2001 Parliament attack, Dhurandhar traces a covert Indian intelligence operation aimed at dismantling Pakistan-based terror and criminal networks.

The narrative follows a high-stakes mission led by senior intelligence officials, who deploy an unconventional operative to infiltrate Karachi’s underworld, setting off violent confrontations, shifting loyalties and intense power struggles.

With a runtime of over three hours, the film blends espionage, large-scale action and geopolitical drama, while ending with a clear setup for a sequel.

Apart from Ranveer Singh’s performance, Akshaye Khanna’s stylised screen presence has sparked strong buzz on social media. His entry sequence, set to Flipperachi’s trending track FA9LA, has gone viral, with viewers calling it a throwback to his earlier screen persona.

Dhurandhar, which has emerged as the highest-grossing Indian film domestically with earnings exceeding Rs. 800 crore, will be followed by a sequel slated for release on March 19, 2026.
