Set against the backdrop of the IC-814 hijacking in 1999 and the 2001 Indian Parliament attack, the film follows India's Intelligence Bureau Chief Ajay Sanyal, who crafts a daring and indomitable mission to infiltrate and dismantle a powerful terrorist network operating out of Pakistan.

With its explosive premise, intense patriotic undertones, Ranveer Singh's commanding presence, powerful rest of the cast and now confirmed certification and runtime, Dhurandhar is shaping up to be one of the boldest and most ambitious releases of 2025. All eyes are now on its theatrical arrival on December 5, which is expected to create a storm at the box office. Stay tuned...
