Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge Teaser CBFC Rating and Runtime Details Confirmed; To Be Attached with Border 2

The anticipation for the continuation of the Dhurandhar saga has reached a new peak with the latest official update regarding its promotional material. On January 19, 2026, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) officially certified the teaser for the sequel, titled Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge. In a move that highlights the film's gritty and high-octane nature, the teaser has been granted an A (Adults Only) certificate. The certified runtime for this first glimpse is clocked at exactly 1 minute and 48 seconds, promising a packed and intense introduction to the next chapter of the story. To maximize the film's reach, the makers have strategically decided to attach the Dhurandhar 2 teaser to the theatrical prints of the highly anticipated Border 2. Starting from Day 1 of the Border 2 release, audiences in cinemas will be the first to witness the return of the franchise on the big screen. This cross-promotion is expected to generate massive traction, given the overlapping audience base for both high-scale action spectacles. The sequel follows in the footsteps of a cinematic giant. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the first installment of Dhurandhar emerged as a generational blockbuster, redefining box office benchmarks for Indian cinema. The film featured an elite ensemble cast led by Ranveer Singh, alongside powerhouse performers like Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, and R. Madhavan. The plot, a sophisticated spy thriller centered on international espionage and high-stakes combat, resonated deeply with audiences globally. Currently continuing its record-shattering theatrical run, Dhurandhar has already achieved All Time Blockbuster status. The film's commercial performance remains extraordinary, having amassed a Worldwide Gross of ₹1283.5 crore to date. Its domestic journey has seen an India Net collection of ₹825.1 crore (Gross: ₹989.9 crore), while it continues to dominate international markets with an Overseas collection of ₹293.6 crore. The franchise's immense brand value was further solidified when Netflix acquired the combined digital rights for both parts in a landmark ₹130 crore deal, even as the first installment remains a top draw in cinemas. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   Following the monumental success of the first installment, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge will see Ranveer Singh return as the primary lead, reprising his role as the undercover Indian agent Jaskirat Singh Rangi (Hamza). Director Aditya Dhar has finalized the return of the key ensemble cast, including Sanjay Dutt as SP Chaudhary Aslam, R. Madhavan as Ajay Sanyal, and Sara Arjun as Yalina. A significant development for the sequel is the return of Akshaye Khanna as Rehman Dakait; however, trade reports confirm his appearance is limited to pivotal flashback sequences that will explore the character's origins and deeper ties to the ongoing conflict. On the antagonistic front, the threat level is set to escalate as Arjun Rampal's character, Major Iqbal, takes a more central role following the events of the first film. The narrative will also revolve around the mysterious Bade Sahab, the shadow mastermind teased in Part 1, whose official casting is being kept under wraps by the makers for the theatrical release.With the sequel scheduled for theatrical release on March 19, 2026, the certification of the teaser marks the beginning of a high-decibel marketing campaign aimed at breaking the records set by its predecessor.

King: Shah Rukh Khan and Siddharth Anand Lock Christmas 2026 Release; Strategic 45-Day Gap from Ramayana

The anticipation for Shah Rukh Khan's next big-screen venture has reached a fever pitch.In what is being reported as an exclusive scoop by Bollywood Hungama, the makers of the high-octane action thriller King have officially locked December 25, 2026, for its global theatrical release. This move confirms that King Khan will be reclaiming the lucrative Christmas window, a slot he has successfully dominated in the past. According to trade sources, the decision to opt for a Christmas release was highly strategic. The team was initially considering a December 4 window, but decided to skip it to avoid any proximity to Nitesh Tiwari's magnum opus, Ramayana.By locking December 25, the makers have ensured a 45-day gap between the release of Ramayana and King.This breathing space is intended to allow both tentpole films—one a divine epic and the other a modern action spectacle—the opportunity to maximize their box office potential without eating into each other's business.Director Siddharth Anand has been teasing this announcement on social media recently with cryptic posts, further fueling the Announcement on the way buzz. King is set to be a landmark film for several reasons, most notably because it marks the theatrical debut of Suhana Khan. She will be sharing the screen with her father, Shah Rukh Khan, in a full-fledged role. Reports suggest the film is inspired by the French classic Leon: The Professional, with SRK playing a sleek, deadly assassin and Suhana portraying his student. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   The film features a stellar lineup, headlined by Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role, reportedly portraying a deadly assassin. Adding to the excitement is the theatrical debut of Suhana Khan, who joins her father on screen as his protege. The project also marks a major face-off as Abhishek Bachchan has been cast as the main antagonist, playing the formidable villain, while Abhay Verma is set to appear in a pivotal role. Beyond the primary cast, there is significant industry buzz regarding the broader ensemble; names like Deepika Padukone (rumored for a powerful cameo), Jaideep Ahlawat, and Arshad Warsi are heavily linked to the project, promising one of the most star-studded cinematic events in recent years. While Sujoy Ghosh was initially tied to the director's chair, the reigns have now been officially handed over to Siddharth Anand, who previously collaborated with SRK for the historic blockbuster Pathaan. Sujoy Ghosh remains an integral part of the project, credited with the story and screenplay alongside Siddharth Anand, Suresh Nair, and Sagar Pandya. The film is being produced on a massive scale under the banners of Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix Pictures, with a reported budget of ₹350 crore. Adding to the technical brilliance is musical sensation Anirudh Ravichander, who will be composing the soundtrack and background score, marking his second collaboration with SRK after the record-breaking Jawan. With principal photography nearing its final stages and post-production planned on a global scale, King is shaping up to be the most anticipated cinematic event of 2026. Fans can expect an official release date announcement from the makers within the coming week.

Bhoot Bhangla and Vvan: Balaji Motion Pictures Reshuffles 2026 Release Dates to Avoid Akshay Kumar vs Sidharth Malhotra Clash

Balaji Motion Pictures, led by Ektaa R. Kapoor, is gearing up for a monumental year in 2026 with two of its most high-profile projects. The production house has officially set the stage for the highly anticipated horror-comedy Bhoot Bhangla and the mysterious folk-thriller Vvan. These films represent a strategic blend of nostalgic superstar reunions and fresh, acclaimed directorial talent, aiming to capture a wide spectrum of the Indian audience. Originally, Balaji Motion Pictures had planned for both Bhoot Bhangla and Vvan to hit theaters on the same day, May 15, 2026. However, according to a report by Bollywood Hungama, this release strategy has been revised. The source noted that since the Akshay Kumar and Tabu starrer Bhoot Bhangla—directed by Priyadarshan—was pushed from its initial April 3 slot to May 15, it was deemed impractical for Ekta Kapoor to release two major home productions on the same day. Consequently, the Sidharth Malhotra-led Vvan has been rescheduled to a new date, which is currently being kept under wraps. The makers are expected to officially reveal this secret new release date on the film's highly anticipated first look poster today. Bhoot Bhangla marks the historic reunion of Megastar Akshay Kumar and legendary director Priyadarshan after a 14-year hiatus. The duo, responsible for cult classics like Hera Pheri and Bhool Bhulaiyaa, is returning to the horror-comedy genre—a space they practically defined for modern Bollywood. Adding immense acting weight to the project is Tabu, who has become a synonymous name with box-office success in this genre, alongside the talented Wamiqa Gabbi. The film is officially scheduled for a grand release on May 15, 2026, and is expected to be a major summer blockbuster. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   Simultaneously, the spotlight is on Vvan, a project that has generated massive intrigue since its initial announcement. Starring Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia, the film marks the feature film directorial debut of Deepak Mishra, the mastermind behind the globally acclaimed Panchayat series. Vvan is described as a grounded folk-thriller, a genre that has seen a massive surge in popularity recently. In a significant update for fans, the official release date for this atmospheric thriller is expected to be announced today, January 16, 2026. The trade circuit is buzzing with high expectations for both films. Bhoot Bhangla is seen as a sure-shot winner given the proven track record of the Akshay-Priyadarshan combination. On the other hand, Vvan is being hailed as a potential dark horse, with Deepak Mishra's transition from OTT excellence to the silver screen being one of the most watched developments of the year. With these two juggernauts, Balaji Motion Pictures is firmly positioning itself at the forefront of the 2026 theatrical race.

Dhurandhar's Global Domination: Shaking Up the All-Time Overseas Box Office Rankings

The true measure of an Indian film's success is no longer confined to its domestic performance; the global box office is the ultimate arena where blockbusters become legends. For years, this elite club has been dominated by films that achieved astronomical success in markets like China. However, a new challenger has rewritten the rules. The phenomenal blockbuster Dhurandhar has not only shattered domestic records but has also made a spectacular entry into the all-time Top 10 list of highest-grossing Indian films overseas, a feat made even more remarkable by the significant hurdles it faced. The story of the year is undoubtedly Dhurandhar, which has already stormed into the #10 spot on the all-time overseas list with a monumental collection of ₹290 Cr. This incredible achievement is the crowning jewel on its staggering worldwide gross, which has surpassed ₹1259.5 Cr to date, already cementing its legacy as one of the highest-grossing Indian films in history. Its domestic dominance has been absolute, with its India Net collection soaring past ₹808 Cr and continuing to climb. The film's run so far has been defined by blistering speed—becoming the second-fastest Hindi film to cross the coveted ₹500 crore net mark—and incredible longevity, with its powerful sixth-week collections challenging the records of modern classics like Jawan and Uri. However, Dhurandhar's final overseas ranking comes with a compelling story of what could have been. The film did not secure a release in the lucrative Gulf countries, a market that is consistently a major contributor to a blockbuster's international tally. Industry analysts estimate that this resulted in a potential loss of at least ₹90 crore. Had the film earned this amount, its total overseas collection would have surged to ₹380 crore. This hypothetical figure would have catapulted Dhurandhar four places up the ladder to the #6 position, surpassing the epic Baahubali 2: The Conclusion and placing it just behind the Shah Rukh Khan starrers. This context reframes its #10 position not as a limitation, but as a testament to its raw power in the markets where it did release. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   Looking at the rest of the list, the massive influence of the China box office is undeniable. Aamir Khan's Dangal remains in a league of its own, sitting at an untouchable #1 spot with a jaw-dropping ₹1535.3 Cr overseas, a figure powered almost entirely by its historic run in China. Following the same path, Secret Superstar stands tall at #2 with ₹831.47 Cr, another film that found unprecedented love from the Chinese audience. Salman Khan's Bajrangi Bhaijaan also benefited immensely from a delayed China release, which propelled its international total to ₹489.47 Cr. The trend continued with surprise hits like Andhadhun (₹347.62 Cr) and the groundbreaking PK (₹303 Cr), both of which found massive success in the Far East. In the modern era, Shah Rukh Khan has reclaimed his title as the king of overseas with Jawan (₹400 Cr) and Pathaan (₹397.5 Cr). These films achieved their mammoth numbers without a China release, dominating traditional markets across the USA, Canada, UK, and Australia. Similarly, the pan-Indian epics Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (₹371.16 Cr) and the Oscar-winning RRR (₹314.15 Cr) proved that compelling storytelling can transcend language and cultural barriers, finding success across the globe. Dhurandhar's entry into this prestigious list is a watershed moment, proving that a film can achieve global blockbuster status even without access to all key markets. It stands as a powerful symbol of content winning hearts and wallets across the world.

It’s true, so don’t forget to grab this offer! 🙌🔥Book your tickets.🔗 - https://t.co/imeGQ5vWYO#Dhurandhar Ruling Cinemas Worldwide.@RanveerOfficial #AkshayeKhanna @duttsanjay @ActorMadhavan @rampalarjun #SaraArjun @bolbedibol @AdityaDharFilms… pic.twitter.com/dLn1kcASSw— Jio Studios (@jiostudios) January 12, 2026 This move is designed to further fuel the fire that has been burning at the box office since December. By making the film more accessible in its 40th day, the makers are targeting repeat audiences and family crowds who have been waiting for the hype to settle. What makes this offer even more interesting is the data behind the film's Tuesday performance, which reveals a legendary long-run stamina. When analyzing the Hindi Net collections of the year's top grossers, Dhurandhar (currently at #4 globally) and Pushpa 2: The Rule (currently at #3) present a fascinating case study. While Pushpa 2 had a massive, record-breaking start, Dhurandhar took over the lead in terms of theatrical legs starting from the second week. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   Specifically on Tuesdays, Dhurandhar showed a rare growth in its second week (₹30.5 Cr) compared to its first (₹27 Cr). By the time both films reached their fifth Tuesday, Dhurandhar was collecting ₹4.75 Cr, which is significantly higher than Pushpa 2's ₹1.5 Cr in the same period. This highlights that while Pushpa 2 was front-loaded, Dhurandhar is a genuine sleeper juggernaut.

While Pushpa 2 maintains its lead in total worldwide gross, the gap in daily Hindi collections during the later weeks is closing rapidly. The ₹149 offer is expected to give Dhurandhar a significant boost on its 6th Tuesday (Day 40). If the film manages to hold steady, it will set a new benchmark for how long a solo Hindi release can dominate the market. For fans of the spy-thriller, the message from the makers is clear: Don't lose kentrol, because this box office fire shows no signs of going out.

Dhurandhar Box Office: Ranveer Singh's Spy Thriller Rewrites History;Ranveer Singh Shatters a Decade-Old Record with This Historic Milestone

While most films struggle to maintain momentum after their second week, Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar is busy shattering records in its sixth week of release. The film has officially entered the history books by crossing the $20 million mark in North America, a feat previously achieved only by Prabhas' Baahubali 2. This milestone cements Dhurandhar as a global cinematic phenomenon, proving that high-quality storytelling can transcend regional boundaries even without a multi-language Pan-India release strategy. The North American market has long been a stronghold for massive event films, but Dhurandhar has turned into a case study for the industry. Nearly nine years after Baahubali 2 set the benchmark, Dhurandhar has risen to become only the second Indian film to cross the coveted $20M threshold. With over 2 million (20 lakh) footfalls in the region alone, Ranveer Singh now joins Prabhas as the only Indian stars to lead a film to this historic overseas figure. The global numbers for Dhurandhar are equally staggering. As of its 38th day, the film has amassed a massive ₹1254.9 Crore worldwide gross. Domestic performance remains the backbone of this success, with the India Net collection standing at ₹805.65 Crore. What makes these figures remarkable is the film's unprecedented consistency. Dhurandhar maintained double-digit net collections for 28 consecutive days, a record that highlights the power of extraordinary word-of-mouth. Unlike many big-budget films that rely on a massive opening day and then fade away, this film has seen immense repeat viewership, fueled by a gripping concept and stellar performances. With its current global standing, Dhurandhar has achieved what many thought was impossible for a solo-language release. By crossing the lifetime collections of industry giants like KGF: Chapter 2, RRR, Jawan, and Pathaan, it has officially secured its spot as the 4th Highest-Grossing Indian Film of All Time worldwide. The film now sits in an elite bracket, trailing only behind the historic totals of Dangal, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, and the recent phenomenon Pushpa 2: The Rule. This trajectory is largely due to its unprecedented Week 2 Jump, where it actually earned more than its opening week—a rarity in the era of front-loaded blockbusters. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   The true testament to Dhurandhar's grip on the audience is visible in its current daily performance. Even in its sixth weekend, the film is showing weekend growth that is eluding newer big-budget titles. On its 37th day (Saturday), the film collected ₹5.75 Crore, and it jumped further to ₹6.15 Crore on its 38th day (Sunday). The film's journey at the domestic box office has been nothing short of legendary. Dhurandhar achieved a rare feat in its second week, where the collections actually surpassed the first-week numbers—a clear indicator of the extraordinary word-of-mouth it enjoyed. Even in its fifth week, the film maintained a stronghold that most big-budget releases fail to achieve in their second weekend. Below is the week-wise breakdown of its historic run: WEEK INDIA NET COLLECTION Week 1 ₹ 207.25 Cr Week 2 ₹ 253.25 Cr Week 3 ₹ 172.00 Cr Week 4 ₹ 106.50 Cr Week 5 ₹ 51.25 Cr With an overseas haul of ₹288.25 Crore and a domestic gross nearing the ₹1000 Crore mark, Dhurandhar has earned the All-Time Blockbuster verdict. Much like director Aditya Dhar's previous work with URI, the success of Dhurandhar is built on a foundation of solid content rather than just marketing hype. As it continues its theatrical run, it isn't just breaking records; it is setting a new gold standard for what a solo Hindi release can achieve on the global stage.

The Raja Saab vs Dhurandhar Box Office: Why Prabhas' New Release is Struggling to Beat a Month-Old Movie in Hindi

The box office is currently witnessing a rare phenomenon where a month-old veteran is outperforming a star-studded new release in a key market. Prabhas' latest outing, The Raja Saab, arrived with massive pan-India expectations but is finding the going tough in the Hindi belt. Meanwhile, Ranveer Singh's spy thriller Dhurandhar, which entered its sixth week, continues to show remarkable resilience. The most striking takeaway from the current box office reports is the Hindi net collection. On its third day (Sunday), The Raja Saab managed to collect approximately ₹4.65 Cr in the Hindi market. In a sharp contrast, Dhurandhar—on its 37th day—earned an estimated ₹5.75 Cr. It is highly unusual for a new film led by a Pan-India superstar to be outpaced in its first weekend by a movie that has been in theaters for over five weeks. The Raja Saab's Hindi journey started with ₹6 Cr on Day 1, followed by ₹5.1 Cr on Day 2, and the decline to ₹4.65 Cr on Day 3 sis particularly concerning, as the film missed out on the standard Sunday surge usually seen at the box office. While the Hindi numbers tell a story of struggle, the overall India Net and Worldwide figures for The Raja Saab remain respectable, largely due to Prabhas' iron grip on the Telugu market. In its first three days, the movie has clocked: India Net Collection: ₹108.00 Cr India Gross Collection: ₹129.20 Cr Worldwide Collection: ₹161.00 Cr Overseas Collection: ₹31.80 Cr These figures are a testament to Prabhas' massive fanbase, which ensured a strong opening despite the hurdles. However, for a film reportedly mounted on a budget of ₹300–400 Cr, these numbers need significant sustainability, which is currently under threat. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   The primary reason for The Raja Saab's struggle in the Hindi belt appears to be the poor word of mouth.Unlike Prabhas' recent hits like Kalki 2898 AD or Salaar, which offered high-octane action or grand sci-fi, The Raja Saab is a horror-comedy that many critics have labeled as too regional or outdated. Audience feedback has been critical of the concept lack, uneven VFX, and a screenplay that fails to grip the viewer.Many North Indian viewers, who were expecting an event film, found the horror elements lacking logic and the comedy failing to land. On the other side of the spectrum, Dhurandhar has set a benchmark for consistency.Released only in the Hindi language, the film achieved the rare feat of maintaining double-digit daily collections for 28 consecutive days. Even with the arrival of a major competitor, Dhurandhar saw a 69% jump in its sixth Saturday, proving that solid word-of-mouth can sustain a film long after the initial hype fades. While The Raja Saab is fighting a battle of damage control in the North, Dhurandhar is comfortably sitting on a domestic net of over ₹805 Cr, making it the most successful solo Hindi release in recent history. The comparison highlights a clear divide: while stardom can guarantee a ₹100 Cr opening weekend, longevity is driven by content.The Raja Saab remains afloat on the strength of the Telugu states, but its inability to surpass a 37-day-old Dhurandhar in the Hindi belt serves as a reality check for the film's pan-India appeal.

Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 Re-Release Cancelled At The Last Minute; Makers Cite Screen Allocation Issues

The re-release of the comic entertainer Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2, which was scheduled to hit theaters today, January 9, 2026, has been cancelled at the last minute. This sudden decision comes after the makers had already released a fresh trailer to build momentum for a second theatrical run. The film originally debuted on December 12, 2025, but its performance was severely hindered by a crowded holiday window. The planned re-release was intended to give the film a cleaner run in the New Year, but logistical challenges have forced the producers to withdraw the film from the current schedule. According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, the primary reason for this last-minute cancellation is a major dispute over screen allocation. The producers, Venus, and their studio partner, Star Studio 18, reportedly reached a stalemate regarding the number of screens and show timings. While the producers were promised a wider release across 500 screens, they were only able to secure approximately 200-250 screens, mostly with unfavorable morning or late-night slots. An industry source quoted by the trade portal mentioned that the makers felt the film was not being given sufficient visibility, stating that even when holdover releases have slowed down, they were not getting the showcasing they demanded, leading to the decision on the evening of January 8 to scrap the re-release entirely. Directed by Anukalp Goswami and produced by Venus Worldwide Entertainment in association with Abbas-Mustan Films, the sequel features Kapil Sharma in the lead role, portraying the character of Mohan. The supporting cast includes Manjot Singh, Warina Hussain, Tridha Choudhary, Parul Gulati, Ayesha Khan, and veteran actor Asrani. The plot is a high-energy comedy of errors where Mohan finds himself juggling multiple identities and accidentally marrying four different women, leading to a series of chaotic and humorous situations as he tries to keep his complicated personal life from collapsing. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   The prequel, Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon (2015), which marked Kapil Sharma's Bollywood debut under the direction of the duo Abbas-Mustan, was a massive commercial success. It benefited from a solo release window and strong word-of-mouth, eventually earning a Hit verdict at the box office.The 2015 film earned an India Net collection of ₹49.98 crore and a Worldwide Gross of ₹72.25 crore, setting a very high benchmark for the franchise that the sequel has struggled to reach. In contrast, the performance of Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 during its initial December 2025 run was significantly impacted by the dominance of mega-budget films like Dhurandhar and Avatar: Fire and Ash. During its time in theaters before being phased out, the sequel managed to collect approximately ₹12.33 crore India Net and around ₹16.23 crore Worldwide Gross. With a production budget estimated at ₹35 crore, the film's current status remains Below Average, as the cancellation of the re-release further limits its chances of recovering its investment through theatrical windows.
