Today, January 3, 2026, the teaser for Dhurandhar: The Revenge was officially released, signalling what industry experts predict will be a seismic shift in Indian action cinema. The critically acclaimed sequel to Aditya Dhar's 2025 smash hit Dhurandhar will be released in theatres globally on March 19, 2026.

How does Dhurandhar: The Revenge teaser connect to Dhurandhar climax?

Premiered at 12:12 PM IST, the teaser builds directly on the eerie epilogue from the first instalment's climax. The Dhurandhar climax and denouement exposed the protagonist as Ranveer Singh (Jaskirat Singh Rangi), an Indian operative who had previously taken down Rehman Dakait's (Akshaye Khanna) syndicate in Lyari.

The epilogue ended with Jaskirat erasing Rehman's name from a hidden ledger, but as he turned the page, he revealed his next targets, including the vile ISI officer Major Iqbal (Arjun Rampal). The new teaser expertly continues this thread, showing a hardened Jaskirat preparing to further infiltrate the enemy's area.

How does action evolve in Dhurandhar: The Revenge?

At a little under two minutes long, the teaser switches up the first film's slow-burn suspense with intense, tactical fighting. Important points to note are that Singh's role is no longer Lyari's "Hamza"; he suddenly appears as a lethal autonomous agent. In this high-stakes geopolitical struggle, visuals of blazing streets and heavy weaponry imply that the fighting has gone beyond gang warfare.

The teaser ends with a stirring voiceover from Singh, referencing Dhar's earlier directing work in Uri: The Surgical Strike saying, "Yeh naya Hindustan hai... yeh ghar mein ghusega bhi, aur maarega bhi" (This is the new India... it will enter your home, and it will strike).

Which familiar faces are returning to Dhurandhar: The Revenge?

The narrative focus shifts in the sequel, but the formidable ensemble is back. Reportedly, R. Madhavan's involvement this time around will be far more active in the field, as he reprises his role as Ajay Sanyal, the IB head and Jaskirat's mentor. Arjun Rampal's portrayal of the main adversary hints at Jaskirat's troubled history in the opening film's montage.

The production values of Dhurandhar: The Revenge are top-rate. Contributing to the first film's gritty aesthetic are cinematographer Vikash Nowlakha and music director Shashwat Sachdev.

Can Dhurandhar: The Revenge surpass Dhurandhar's record-breaking success?

Dhurandhar broke numerous records upon its release, becoming the highest-grossing Hindi film in domestic markets within three weeks. Trade experts anticipate an even bigger opening for the sequel, set to release in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam.

With a release date of March 19, Dhurandhar: The Revenge will face competition against the South Indian tentpole Toxic at the box office. However, the teaser implies that Dhurandhar: The Revenge would be able to maintain its pace.
