Audiences across India finally got the news that they have been eagerly waiting for, Dhurandhar, the massive box office blockbuster starring Ranveer Singh and directed by Aditya Dhar, has begun streaming on Netflix. After smashing records in theatres and earning over ₹1,000 crore domestically (and more than ₹1,300 crore worldwide), the high-octane spy thriller made its digital debut on January 30 at 12 a.m. IST.
The film, which originally released in theatres on December 5, 2025, follows an Indian spy on a dangerous mission and features a star-studded cast including Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal. Its gripping story, thrilling action sequences, and powerful performances helped Dhurandhar become one of the biggest hits of recent years.
Netflix’s catalogue now lists Dhurandhar as available to stream, and subscribers can watch it in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu, catering to a wide audience across languages. This release continues the film’s momentum and gives viewers who missed it in theatres a chance to experience it at home.
However, not all reactions have been positive. Many fans took to social media shortly after the Netflix premiere to express disappointment that the OTT version runs about nine to ten minutes shorter than the theatrical cut. Viewers noted that some dialogues are muted and several scenes appear trimmed, prompting frustration among those who expected the full, uncut experience online.
The shorter runtime and alleged censorship have become talking points, with fans comparing this treatment unfavorably to other big films that streamed in full on OTT platforms. While streaming releases often involve small edits for pacing or format, many feel Dhurandhar deserved a complete version given its hard-earned success and intense cinematic experience.
Despite the mixed response to the Netflix cut, Dhurandhar’s digital release remains a major event for fans and film enthusiasts alike. It not only extends the life of an already iconic film but also sets the stage for even more excitement with the upcoming sequel, Dhurandhar 2, set for theatrical release in March 2026.
