Dhurandhar The Revenge OTT Release: Netflix to Stream Extended Raw and Undekha Version Internationally; Check Details

BY SACNILK

Dhurandhar The Revenge has reached a significant milestone today, marking 50 days of its dominant run in the theatrical circuit. While the film continues to attract audiences to the big screen, the focus has now shifted toward its highly anticipated digital premiere. According to reports from Bollywood Hungama, the sequel is set to make its international OTT debut on Netflix starting May 14. This news comes just as the movie cements its position as one of the most successful blockbusters in recent history. What has specifically caught the attention of the global audience is the version being prepared for the streaming platform. The title is currently listed on Netflix as Dhurandhar The Revenge (Raw and Undekha), indicating that viewers will have access to footage that was not part of the original theatrical release. The runtime displayed on the app is 3 hours and 52 minutes, which makes it exactly three minutes longer than the theatrical cut that ran for 3 hours and 49 minutes. While three minutes might seem like a minor addition, in a high-stakes action thriller of this magnitude, even a small amount of extra footage often provides deeper character context or extended sequences that fans are eager to see. The film features a massive ensemble cast including Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal, under the direction of Aditya Dhar. Produced by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, the project followed the massive success of the first installment released in late 2025. The sequel managed to surpass the records of the original, benefiting from the intense hype and the reputation of Aditya Dhar for delivering high-quality cinematic experiences. The decision to release a Raw and Undekha version internationally appears to be a strategy to maintain the momentum and offer a fresh experience to those who have already watched it multiple times in theaters. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The massive theatrical success of the franchise has already translated into record-breaking numbers in the digital space. The first installment set an incredibly high bar on Netflix, trending in the Global Top 10 for a remarkable 10 consecutive weeks. By the end of its tenth week, the film had amassed over 101 million viewing hours globally. As of its 11th week, the movie has officially crossed the 32 million views milestone. The viewership data shows a particularly strong hold, with a peak of 8.2 million views in its second week and a notable late-stage resurgence in weeks eight and nine, where it jumped back up to 3.0 million views. This sustained interest highlights a massive global appetite for the series that the upcoming extended version of the sequel is poised to capitalize on. While the international release on Netflix is confirmed, the situation for the Indian audience remains slightly different. In India, the film is expected to stream on the JioHotstar platform. As of now, there is no official confirmation regarding whether the Indian streaming version will also feature the extended three-minute footage or if it will remain the standard theatrical cut. Given the massive domestic fan base and the blockbuster status of the franchise, there is significant curiosity among local viewers about whether they will also get to see this longer version of the revenge saga.

The advance booking response has been phenomenal across major national multiplex chains, including PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis, with tickets selling rapidly in key metro markets.
