Earlier, on 18th March, 2026, a day before the release of 'Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge', Dhar shared a heartfelt note for his 'Dhurandhar family'. Talking about the twists and emotions put into the sequel, he insisted people watch the movie in cinemas rather than on someone's phone. The key takeaway from his post was his appeal to the fans - 'Please don't share spoilers!' He emphasised that every fan has their own journey as they walk into the theatre, so they can feel every emotion. He also teased the fans by writing "Oh, and one more thing. Don't leave your seats until the credits have stopped rolling ????" This sparked intense speculation among fans with a possible 'post-credit' scene.
However, the movie's paid previews faced significant challenges on Wednesday. Technical glitches led to the cancellation of several paid previews across South India. The director issued a formal apology, claiming that shows were delayed to the next morning for Malayalam and Kannada. He wrote, "If the dubbed version you have tickets for is not currently playing at your cinema, you will have an option for a refund or to watch the Hindi version with subtitles instead."
'Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge' has opened with an impressive start. After collecting Rs 75 crore worldwide, the movie is now expected to cross Rs 100 crore on its opening day.
