The trailer for Dhurandhar The Revenge, the sequel to the 2025 action film Dhurandhar, was released on Saturday, March 7, 2026. The film stars Ranveer Singh in the lead role and is written and directed by Aditya Dhar. Along with Singh, the film features a large ensemble cast that includes Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, R Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna and Sara Arjun. The sequel continues the story introduced in the first film and explores the transformation and operations of its central character in a geopolitical setting.
The trailer begins with a sequence referencing an incident from the first film. In the scene, a terrorist on a plane makes a provocative remark targeting the Hindu community. R Madhavan’s character, Ajay Sanyal, is shown witnessing the moment, which appears to set the tone for the ideological conflict that unfolds in the narrative. The trailer then moves to events following the death of Rahman Dakait, a powerful figure portrayed by Akshaye Khanna in the previous film. His death creates a power vacuum in Lyari, a region portrayed in the story as a centre of criminal and political activity. The trailer suggests that several factions may attempt to take control of the area.
Ranveer Singh’s character, Hamza, emerges as a central figure amid this uncertainty. Several scenes in the trailer show him engaging in violent confrontations and asserting authority. These moments indicate that the character will play a significant role in the power struggle that follows Rahman Dakait’s death. The visuals emphasize action sequences involving gunfights, explosions and close combat, reflecting the action-driven tone established in the first film.
In addition to present-day events, the trailer includes flashback sequences that reveal more about Hamza’s earlier identity. Before becoming Hamza Ali Mazari, the character is shown as Jaskiran Singh Rangi, a younger man with a different appearance and background. The flashbacks portray him as clean-shaven and emotionally conflicted, suggesting that past experiences contributed to his eventual transformation. These glimpses appear to provide context for the character’s motivations and may form an important part of the sequel’s narrative.
Other characters are also introduced briefly in the trailer. Arjun Rampal appears as Major Iqbal, a military figure who expresses hostility toward Indian soldiers. His dialogue hints at a possible confrontation involving cross-border tensions. Sanjay Dutt plays SP Chaudhary Aslam, a law enforcement officer who is shown in a scene where he cracks a joke before shooting a criminal. The moment adds a lighter but still violent element to the otherwise serious tone of the trailer.
R Madhavan’s Ajay Sanyal is shown delivering a short line that emphasizes the themes of the film. In the trailer, he repeats three words: “Haunsla, Eendhan, Badla,” which translate to courage, fuel and revenge. The line appears to summarise the motivations driving several characters in the story. Throughout the trailer, scenes of destruction, confrontations and strategic operations suggest that the narrative will involve both personal vendettas and broader political stakes.
The final part of the trailer shows Ranveer Singh’s character moving through a damaged environment, climbing over debris and continuing forward. In the closing shot, Hamza is seen smoking a cigarette while delivering a line suggesting that India will play a decisive role in shaping Pakistan’s future. The dialogue implies that the story will involve high-stakes geopolitical conflict alongside the character’s personal journey.
According to the official description released with the trailer, Dhurandhar The Revenge focuses on Jaskirat Singh Rangi and the series of events that lead him to assume the identity of Hamza Ali Mazari. The film follows his activities while operating inside Pakistan and explores the circumstances that shape his transformation. The narrative is expected to combine action sequences with elements of political drama.
The first film, Dhurandhar, was released in theatres on December 5 and performed strongly at the box office. Industry tracker Sacnilk reported that the film earned ₹836 crore net in India. While the film attracted audiences for its stylised action sequences and energetic soundtrack, it also received criticism from some viewers and commentators for blending fictional storytelling with references to real-world political events and for promoting a strongly nationalistic tone.
Dhurandhar The Revenge is produced by Jyoti Deshpande under Jio Studios and by Aditya Dhar and Lokesh Dhar under B62 Studios. The film is scheduled to release in theatres on March 19, 2026. The producers have also announced paid preview screenings beginning on March 18, one day before the official release.
