The excitement surrounding Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has reached a new high with the official certification of its teaser by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). On January 19, 2026, the CBFC cleared the first promotional glimpse of the much-awaited sequel, awarding it an A (Adults Only) certificate. With an approved runtime of 1 minute and 48 seconds, the teaser promises a compact yet powerful preview that aligns with the franchise’s intense, gritty action-thriller identity.
The certification marks the first concrete milestone in the promotional journey of Dhurandhar 2, offering fans their earliest official update since the sequel was announced. Given the massive success and cultural impact of the first film, expectations are sky-high, and the teaser is expected to play a crucial role in setting the tone for the next chapter in the Dhurandhar universe.
In a strategic move designed to maximize reach and impact, the makers have decided to attach the Dhurandhar 2 teaser to the theatrical prints of Border 2. From day one of Border 2’s release, cinema audiences will be treated to an exclusive big-screen preview of the sequel. Industry insiders view this as a smart cross-promotional strategy, as both films appeal strongly to audiences who enjoy large-scale storytelling, high-octane action, and intense patriotic or espionage-driven narratives.
This theatrical pairing is expected to generate strong word-of-mouth buzz, especially among fans who experienced the first Dhurandhar in packed theatres. Watching the teaser on the big screen is likely to enhance its impact, amplifying anticipation and curiosity ahead of the sequel’s release.
Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar emerged as a landmark release that redefined box office benchmarks for Indian cinema. Fronted by Ranveer Singh, the film featured a formidable ensemble cast including Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, and R. Madhavan. With its tightly woven espionage narrative, stylized action sequences, and morally complex characters, the film struck a chord with audiences across domestic and international markets.
The first installment went on to achieve All Time Blockbuster status, amassing a staggering ₹1283.5 crore worldwide. Its India Net collection stood at ₹825.1 crore, while the India Gross reached ₹989.9 crore. Overseas markets contributed an impressive ₹293.6 crore, further cementing the film’s global appeal. Adding to the franchise’s commercial strength, Netflix acquired the combined digital rights for both films in a deal reportedly valued at ₹130 crore, underscoring the immense confidence in the sequel’s potential.
In Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, Ranveer Singh reprises his role as undercover agent Jaskirat Singh Rangi, also known by his codename Hamza. The sequel continues the story from where the first film left off, diving deeper into the shadowy world of espionage, betrayal, and high-stakes conflict. Sanjay Dutt and R. Madhavan return to their respective roles, while Sara Arjun also reprises her character, adding emotional continuity to the narrative.
Akshaye Khanna is set to appear in key flashback portions, providing crucial context and depth to the evolving storyline. Meanwhile, Arjun Rampal’s Major Iqbal is expected to step into a more dominant antagonist arc, making him one of the central forces driving the conflict in the sequel. The mystery surrounding the character of Bade Sahab remains tightly guarded, with the makers choosing to reveal little, ensuring suspense remains intact.
The A certificate awarded to the teaser further signals that Dhurandhar 2 will not shy away from dark themes, intense action, or mature storytelling. Fans of the franchise can expect the sequel to push boundaries while staying true to the raw, uncompromising tone that defined the original film.
Scheduled for a theatrical release on March 19, 2026, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is shaping up to be one of the biggest cinematic events of the year. With the teaser now officially certified, the marketing campaign has formally begun, setting the stage for what promises to be a thunderous and carefully orchestrated build-up to the film’s release.
