Director Aditya Dhar’s 'Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge' has made waves at the global box office, becoming the second-highest-grossing Indian film after 'Dangal' and surpassing 'Baahubali 2: The Conclusion'. Released on March 19, 2026, the film has completed a 46-day run and is now in its eighth week in theaters. Amid its success, the film has faced criticism, with some labeling it a propaganda movie. Veteran screenwriter Javed Akhtar responded to these claims, questioning the definition of propaganda and asserting that every story has a perspective. He expressed his enjoyment of 'Dhurandhar', although he preferred the original installment. The film has achieved over ₹3000 crore in worldwide earnings, contributing to the franchise's record-breaking success. The ensemble cast includes notable actors such as Akshaye Khanna and Sanjay Dutt. Following its Indian release, 'Dhurandhar 2' is set for an international premiere in Japan on July 10, 2026.
