In 2026, several highly anticipated movies will release that have been carrying audience anticipation for around a year or more. However, a film that landed on the list of most anticipated films of 2026 just over 3 months before its release, and that too among the top titles of the year, is Dhurandhar: The Revenge. The prequel of this Aditya Dhar directorial broke nearly every record that existed at the box office on Netflix and revealed the release date of its sequel to be Eid 2026, clashing against Toxic, another giant of the year.

What to Expect From Dhurandhar: The Revenge 2026?
Going by what is seen in the Dhurandhar: The Revenge (2026) teaser, the story of the film will be a continuation of Ranveer Singh’s story as the King of Baloch and, at the same time, as an Indian spy against Arjun Rampal, who will be playing the central antagonist of the film. This story would be expectedly supported by many theatre-erupting songs that became a highlight of Dhurandhar (2025).
Unlike other sequels made today to cash in on their years-old prequels, Dhurandhar 2 was shot alongside Dhurandhar 1 but later edited out to make a completely different movie. Hence, the doubt for this sequel not having the same vibe and energy as its prequel can be easily ignored. Additionally, its unexpected mega success after a poor reception due to its advance booking has placed Aditya Dhar among the most trusted directors in the eyes of the audience.

What is the Dhurandhar 2 Release Date?
The Dhurandhar 2 release date was officially announced during the climax of the prequel. The Dhurandhar: The Revenge release date is March 19, 2026, making the film land on the occasion of Eid 2026 as well as Ugadi and Gudi Padwa against Yash’s Toxic: A Fairy Tale For Grown-Ups. On the same date, it was expected to clash with Dhammal 4 too, which later got postponed.
Releasing just over 3 months after the release of its prequel is a beneficial move for this Ranveer Singh starrer. This is because Dhurandhar ran in theaters across India and overseas for more than 2.5 months, even after its OTT release, highlighting its unprecedented success. Hitting the theaters during this trend was one of the best decisions the team of the movie could take, even though it came with the disadvantage of clashing against Yash’s pan-India entertainer, Toxic.

Who is in the Dhurandhar: The Revenge Cast?
The Dhurandhar The Revenge cast features Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, R. Madhavan, Sara Arjun, and Rakesh Bedi in the lead, along with Akshaye Khanna in a cameo. While the character of Rehman Dakait died in the prequel, a few flashback sequences featuring Akshaye Khanna in that role will be a part of the sequel. Additionally, Yami Gautam Dhar would also play a cameo in this sequel.
Among the supporting actors, Dhurandhar: The Revenge would feature Danish Pandor, Gaurav Gera, Raj Zutshi, Manav Gohil, Saumya Tandon, and many other actors who were a part of the film’s previous installment.
What’s even more exciting about the Dhurandhar 2 cast is the fact that the audience will get to see who plays the character of “Bade Sahab” in Dhurandhar: The Revenge, who was mentioned several times in part 1 as a big force but was never shown on-screen.
What is the Dhurandhar: The Revenge Movie Trailer Release Date?
The Dhurandhar The Revenge trailer release date is currently not announced. As per reports, the film’s trailer will release on March 5, just two weeks before its theatrical release. Before the trailer, a song from the movie would release. Notably, the trailer of Dhurandhar was similarly released 2.5 weeks before the film hit the screens.
The Dhurandhar The Revenge teaser was released officially on February 3, 2026.
Dhurandhar: The Revenge vs Toxic – Who Will Win the Box Office Clash?
To analyze Dhurandhar: The Revenge box office collection against Toxic, we should know about the performance of its part 1. Dhurandhar, during its over 2.5-month run, set several records. According to IBO Tracking, the Dhurandhar box office collection showed a collection of over Rs 800 crore nett at the Indian box office. It also overtook S.S. Rajamouli’s RRR to become the 4th-highest-grossing Indian movie at the worldwide box office.
Besides that, it attracted the highest number of views on Netflix in the first 3 days of its OTT release for any Indian movie while it was running across theaters in India and overseas.
In its run, Dhurandhar, a standalone Hindi film, beat Yash’s KGF: Chapter 2, a highly anticipated pan-India entertainer and sequel. Not just that, it also catered to South Indian audiences without being dubbed into any of the region’s four languages. These records of Dhurandhar give its sequel a clear edge over the upcoming Yash starrer in the Dhurandhar The Revenge vs Toxic clash, as the Ranveer Singh-starrer will be releasing in five languages this time.
However, Toxic is not that small a force in front of this Bollywood multistarrer, as evidenced by how quickly and effectively its character-introduction teaser, featuring Yash in the lead, reached the masses. Besides that, the wait to see Yash on-screen outside of a KGF movie is there among fans across India, which is a major factor behind this clash getting hype.
When two such big movies are released together, predictions become clear not instantly but with every day the release date comes closer. In the case of Dhurandhar: The Revenge and Toxic, a clearer picture of who is winning the hype battle will emerge when the Dhurandhar: The Revenge advance booking begins, along with that for Toxic.
