Dhurandhar: The Revenge is a 2026 Indian spy action thriller film directed by Aditya Dhar and written by Aditya Dhar. The film is set to release in India on 19 March 2026.
Dhurandhar: The Revenge is the upcoming Indian spy action thriller and a direct sequel to the hit Dhurandhar (2025), a powerful film that has become one of the most successful in Indian cinema in recent years. The sequel is written and directed by Aditya Dhar, who also serves as producer, creating a story with high "pan-India" ambitions and a larger cinematic scale than the original. Dhurandhar: The Revenge is scheduled for a kinetic release on March 19, 2026, strategically chosen around major festivals like Ramadan to attract a wide audience. The film will hit the screens in multiple languages — including Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam, underscoring its ambition to be a truly pan-Indian project.
The sequel continues the story of undercover agent Hamza Ali Mazhari, played by Ranveer Singh, who, after the dramatic events of the first film, faces greater and more personal challenges. At the center of the plot this time is "revenge" - both in the name of the film and as a driving moral force for the hero, who must confront stronger criminal and political forces. The focus shifts from a simple mission to an intense internal war, where Hamza not only fights for national security, but also seeks personal retribution and justice. The tone is darker, with higher stakes, but still retains the classic spy-action structure of the genre with multiple adversaries and twists.
Aditya Dhar, who laid the foundations of the first Dhurandhar, returns behind the camera with an even stronger authorial touch, mixing spy suspense with dynamic action, but also paying special attention to the emotional transformation of the main character. The direction here intensifies the conflict, expanding both the geopolitical framework and the internal psychological pressure on Hamza. The visual style promises more grandiose stage clashes, more intense chases and a darker tone that contrasts with the first film and emphasizes „revenge“ as a central theme.
The series relies on a strong ensemble of actors who already impressed the audience with the first part and return with even richer role nuances:
Ranveer Singh as Hamza Ali Mazhari — returns as the charismatic undercover agent, whose attention is now focused on both the national mission and the personal conflict arc.
Arjun Rampal — known for his powerful portrayals, adds weight and confidence to the dynamics between the characters.
Sanjay Dutt — present as a strong figure who contributes to the spectacle and weight of the action.
R. Madhavan — adds intelligence and calm strength needed for balance in the complex plot.
Sara Arjun, Rakesh Bedi and Danish Pandora complete the ensemble, all having roles that contribute to the social and moral context of the story.
The acting promises to be more intense and emotionally charged, as many of the characters are already bearing the consequences of the events of the first film.
Dhurandhar: The Revenge looks like a bold and ambitious final chapter to the series that began with the first installment in 2025. It's a film that expands the universe, deepens the characters, and takes a darker, more personal approach than just another save-the-world adventure. The combination of spectacular action, strong acting, and emotional drama makes it a promising choice for genre fans looking for more than just bombastic action, but a hero's journey with weight and consequences. With a wide release schedule and a pan-Indian approach Dhurandhar: The Revenge is emerging as one of the most talked about and box office successful Indian films of 2026.
