The teaser of Dhurandhar 2 has finally been released, giving fans their first official look at the much-awaited sequel. Starring Ranveer Singh in the lead role and directed by Aditya Dhar, the teaser hints at a darker, more intense story driven by revenge. While the visuals promise scale and action, early reactions show mixed feelings, with many fans saying the teaser does not offer anything very new compared to what was already shown at the end of the first film.
The film is scheduled to release in theatres on March 19, 2026, and will clash at the box office with Yash’s Toxic. Dhurandhar 2 will release in five languages — Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada — making it a big pan-India project. The sequel follows the massive success of Dhurandhar, which released in December and went on to become one of the highest-grossing Indian films of all time.
The teaser of Dhurandhar 2 places Ranveer Singh’s character, Jaskirat Singh Rangi, at the centre of the story. He appears more menacing and emotionally charged than before, clearly driven by a strong desire for revenge. The promo focuses on his intense expressions, sharp action moments, and a darker tone overall. Director Aditya Dhar seems to be pushing the film deeper into the spy-action and revenge genre.
Alongside Ranveer Singh, the teaser also features R Madhavan and Arjun Rampal, both shown in powerful and serious avatars. Their brief appearances suggest that they will play key roles in shaping the conflict of the film. However, the teaser avoids revealing major plot points, choosing instead to build tension and atmosphere.
Music also plays an important role in the teaser. The promo uses a track in the background that adds to the edgy and modern feel of the visuals. The editing is fast-paced, with sharp cuts that match the aggressive mood of the story. Visually, the film looks grand, with high production value and stylised action shots.
Despite these elements, many fans were disappointed. A large section of viewers felt that the teaser was almost identical to the promo shown during the climax of Dhurandhar. Comments on social media pointed out that they were expecting fresh footage or new story hints. Some fans even joked that they had already seen most of what the teaser had to offer.
Dhurandhar created history at the box office, earning over Rs 1000 crore in India and more than Rs 1300 crore overseas. The film featured a strong supporting cast, including Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, and others. Akshaye Khanna’s role as Rehman Dakait was especially praised, even though the character died in the first part. Many fans expressed disappointment that he was not seen in the Dhurandhar 2 teaser.
The success of the first film has raised expectations very high for the sequel. Viewers are hoping that Dhurandhar 2 will expand the story and explore the backstory of Jaskirat Singh Rangi in more detail. According to early updates, the film is expected to focus on how Ranveer Singh’s character became a spy and what events shaped his personality.

Celebrities from the film industry also reacted to the teaser. Director Aditya Dhar’s wife, actor Yami Gautam, shared the teaser on social media with the caption, “Revenge has a new name.” Deepika Padukone also showed her support by sharing Ranveer Singh’s poster from the film. Other actors praised Ranveer’s intense look and screen presence.
One major update that surprised fans is that Dhurandhar 2 will not stream on Netflix after its theatrical run. Unlike the first film, which is currently available on Netflix, the sequel is set to release on JioHotstar after completing its cinema run. This change has sparked discussions among viewers about streaming strategies for big films.
The clash with Yash’s Toxic adds another layer of interest to the release. Both films are big-budget projects with strong fan bases, and trade experts expect a tough box office battle. Releasing in multiple languages will help Dhurandhar 2 reach a wider audience, but strong word-of-mouth will be crucial.
Overall, the Dhurandhar 2 teaser has succeeded in creating buzz, even if reactions are divided. While some fans wanted more new content, others are excited to see Ranveer Singh return in a fierce and emotionally driven role. With a powerful cast, a proven director, and the legacy of a blockbuster first part, all eyes are now on whether Dhurandhar 2 can live up to the massive expectations when it hits theatres in March 2026.
