The much-anticipated trailer of Dhurandhar 2 has dropped, sending fans into a frenzy as Ranveer Singh returns as Hamza with 'beast mode on' for a high-octane revenge saga. The film has already shattered advance booking records, selling tickets worth ₹4 crore within just two hours.
The trailer for Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has finally arrived, and it promises to be bigger, bolder, and bloodier than its predecessor. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the sequel picks up exactly where the first film left off—following the death of Rahman Dacait. This time, Hamza, played with ferocious intensity by Ranveer Singh, is set to become the king of Lyari town in Karachi, but his path to power is paved with dangerous enemies.
The trailer hints at an explosive narrative where Hamza must eliminate other powerful evil forces of Pakistan. His hit list includes SP Chaudhary Aslam (Sanjay Dutt), Major Iqbal (Arjun Rampal), Uzair Baloch (Danish Pandor), and Jameel Jamali (Rakesh Bedi). How Hamza takes revenge on these formidable adversaries forms the major crux of this action-packed sequel.
Adding layers to the already complex narrative, the trailer also showcases glimpses of Hamza's backstory as Jaskirat Singh Rangi. The emotional stakes are raised as his wife, Yalina Jamali (Sara Arjun), may turn against him after learning the truth about his real identity. This personal conflict promises to add depth to the adrenaline-fueled action.
The trailer is slick and edited in sync with foot-tapping music. Once again, there are high expectations for the film's music, editing, and action.
Even before hitting theaters, Dhurandhar 2 has proven its commercial might. The film has reportedly set a new record by selling tickets worth ₹4 crore within just two hours of its trailer release. The advance bookings for the opening day alone have been historic, with over 10,000 tickets being sold per hour on BookMyShow.
The film has sold around 35,000 tickets (and counting) in national chains like PVR Inox and Cinepolis. If the momentum continues, Dhurandhar 2 could become the first film to organically clock over one lakh sales within 24 hours without any corporate or fan show bookings.
The excitement isn't limited to domestic markets. In North America, the movie has already surpassed the opening-day collection of its predecessor, earning approximately $565K in premiere advance bookings despite being less than two weeks away from release.
Beyond Ranveer Singh's magnetic presence, the film boasts an impressive ensemble. Sanjay Dutt brings his signature gravitas as SP Chaudhary Aslam, while Arjun Rampal portrays the formidable Major Iqbal. The cast also includes Sara Arjun, R Madhavan, Danish Pandor, and veteran actor Rakesh Bedi as Jameel Jamali.

Dhurandhar 2 is slated for a worldwide release on March 19, 2026. Paid premieres will be held on March 18 starting from 5:00 PM. The film will release in multiple languages including Kannada, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam, ensuring a pan-Indian appeal.
The postponement of Yash's much-anticipated film Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups has given Dhurandhar 2 a clearer runway at the box office. With theaters adding more shows to meet the surging demand, all eyes are on whether this sequel will surpass the success of its predecessor and set new benchmarks for Bollywood action cinema.
Aditya Dhar, who has written, produced, and directed the project, seems to have crafted a slick action thriller that balances high-octane sequences with emotional depth. If the trailer is any indication, audiences are in for a cinematic experience that lives up to its tagline—beast mode is definitely on.
