'Dhurandhar 2', featuring Ranveer Singh, is set for a unique dual OTT release strategy, with two distinct versions available on different platforms. The 'raw and undekha' version will be available globally on Netflix starting May 22, but Indian viewers will not have access to this version due to geo-blocking. Instead, the Indian version of the film will premiere on JioHotstar on June 4. This version is expected to include an extended runtime of approximately 3 hours and 52 minutes, which is longer than the 3 hours and 49 minutes theatrical cut. Reports indicate that the Netflix version will feature uncensored content, including restored dialogues and additional scenes that were omitted during the film's certification for theatrical release. The exclusive streaming rights for the Indian version were acquired by JioHotstar for nearly ₹150 crore (around $18 million USD), marking it as one of the biggest OTT deals for an Indian film in recent times. This unusual two-platform release has generated significant interest among fans, especially given the contrasting branding and content available to international and Indian audiences.
