Ranveer Singh’s ‘Dhurandhar’ Returns: Global Re-Release Ahead of Massive Sequel

New Delhi, March 12, 2026: In a strategic move that has set the global box office abuzz, Ranveer Singh’s 2025 blockbuster ‘Dhurandhar’ is officially returning to the big screen. The film’s re-release is timed to ignite a massive wave of momentum just one week before its highly anticipated sequel, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, hits theaters on March 19, 2026.

Here is everything you need to know about this grand cinematic homecoming.

A Global Rollout: 500 Screens and Counting

Jio Studios and B62 Studios have orchestrated a massive theatrical re-run for the spy thriller, spanning approximately 500 screens worldwide. The rollout is divided into two phases to maximize impact:

• India: Re-release began today, March 12, 2026, across 250 screens.
• International: The film heads to overseas markets starting tomorrow, March 13, 2026, with 250 screens allocated globally.

Notably, the North American market is seeing a significant push, with nearly 185 screens dedicated to the film. This scale is exceptionally rare for a Hindi film re-release, highlighting the immense international footprint the Dhurandhar franchise has established since its original December 2025 debut.

The Phenomenon Behind the Return

Directed by Aditya Dhar (known for Uri: The Surgical Strike), Dhurandhar follows the gripping journey of Jaskirat Singh Rangi (Ranveer Singh), an Indian intelligence agent who goes deep undercover in Karachi’s criminal underworld under the alias Hamza Ali Mazari.

The film was a certified juggernaut during its initial run, amassing a staggering ₹1,300 crore globally. It was praised for its gritty realism and a powerhouse ensemble cast, including:

• Sanjay Dutt as SP Chaudhary Aslam
• Akshaye Khanna as the formidable Rahman Dakait
• R. Madhavan as Ajay Sanyal
• Arjun Rampal as Major Iqbal

Setting the Stage for ‘The Revenge’

The decision to re-release the original comes as advance booking for the sequel, ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’, shatters records. Trade analysts report that the sequel has already crossed ₹50 crore in worldwide pre-sales.

The second chapter is set to be a “mega-event” release, premiering on the festive occasion of Gudi Padwa and Ugadi. Unlike the first part, which was primarily a Hindi release, the sequel will expand its reach to Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada audiences.

Key Dates for Fans

For fans who have already binged the film on Netflix, the makers emphasize that the re-release is about the theatrical experience. With high-octane sequences and a soundscape designed for the big screen, this limited run offers a chance to witness the rise of “Hamza” in its intended format before he returns to finish the job next week.
