Hyderabad, March 7 – The Ranveer Singh-fronted Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is gearing up for a massive theatrical release on March 19, coinciding with major festivals including Eid and Ugadi. However, the spy action thriller will face a significant challenge in the Telugu states due to the arrival of Pawan Kalyan's highly anticipated action entertainer Ustaad Bhagat Singh. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Originally scheduled for March 26, Ustaad Bhagat Singh was rescheduled to March 19 following the postponement of Yash's Toxic due to the military conflict in the Middle East. The move has set up a direct box office clash between the Telugu mass entertainer and the Bollywood sequel across India, particularly in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, where Pawan Kalyan enjoys enormous popularity. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) While Dhurandhar 2 is expected to perform strongly nationwide due to the success of its first part and its multi-language release strategy, the Telugu states could prove to be a tough market. The sequel is releasing in five languages, including Telugu, but competing against a local superstar-led film in the region will make screen allocation and audience pull more challenging. However, the competition may actually be tougher for Ustaad Bhagat Singh. Despite Pawan Kalyan's strong fan base in the Telugu states, Dhurandhar 2 carries significant pan-India appeal and strong pre-release buzz. Trade believes Dhurandhar 2's massive demand in Telugu states could attract urban multiplex audiences and neutral viewers there, especially if word-of-mouth turns positive. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In addition, Dhurandhar 2 is expected to benefit from its large-scale action spectacle and franchise value after the first film's success, while its makers are reportedly planning paid premiere shows on March 18 to build early momentum. It is said that Ustaad Bhagat Singh is going for a ticket hike, and considering that, the Telugu media is cautioning the makers against it as they feel it will benefit Dhurandhar: The Revenge even more among the neutral audience. With both films targeting the same festive window, the March 19 weekend is shaping up to be one of the biggest box office clashes of 2026. The Telugu states will likely see intense competition between the two titles, but the real test will be how each film sustains its run after the opening weekend. Stay tuned...

Following the viral success of Akshaye Khanna's Arabic-themed track FA9LA from the 2025 hit Dhurandhar, anticipation for the musical landscape of the sequel has been high. According to a recent report by Mid-day, filmmaker Aditya Dhar has already prepared a significant musical sequence for Dhurandhar: The Revenge, featuring leading man Ranveer Singh in a pivotal character moment. The Ascension of Hamza The upcoming track is set to mark a major narrative shift in the sequel. While Akshaye Khanna's character, Rehman Dakait, held the title of Sher-e-Baloch in the first installment, the sequel will witness Ranveer Singh's character, Hamza, ascending to the position. The song is designed as a celebration of Hamza being declared the new Sher-e-Baloch following the events of the first film. Interestingly, the report suggests that Aditya Dhar utilized a back-to-back filming schedule to maintain production efficiency. Both Khanna's FA9LA and Ranveer Singh's upcoming number were reportedly filmed on the same set in Ladakh. Given the grueling climatic conditions of the region, the production team opted to shoot the sequences just a day apart to avoid the logistical challenges of returning to the high-altitude location later. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   While Ranveer Singh is known for his high-energy dance performances, this particular number is expected to follow a different creative direction. Sources indicate that while the song is choreographed by Vijay Ganguly and features background dancers, Singh's character will remain true to his gritty persona. Unlike the flamboyant Rehman Dakait, Hamza is portrayed as a serious, quiet, and aggressive individual driven by a personal mission. Consequently, the sequence will focus on his presence during the celebration rather than a traditional shake a leg routine, ensuring the character's intensity remains intact. Dhurandhar: The Revenge continues the high-stakes narrative established in the first film, with Aditya Dhar aiming to balance commercial musical elements with the franchise's established grounded tone In addition to the musical buzz, the film is making significant waves at the international box office. According to Venky Box Office, Dhurandhar: The Revenge is witnessing a massive response in the USA. With 12 days still left until the premieres, the film has already collected $400,112 in premiere advance sales across 542 locations and 947 shows, with 24,676 tickets sold. The opening day advance bookings have already hit $565K, while the total advance sales for the first weekend have touched the $1 million mark, signaling a massive start for the Ranveer Singh-starrer in the North American market.

Mumbai, March 6 - The wait for the trailer of the most-anticipated Indian movie at the moment, Dhurandhar 2, is about to end after makers officially confirmed the trailer will release on March 7, just two weeks ahead of the worldwide theatrical release. The buzz for Aditya Dhar's directorial is second to none, with sky-high expectations among the trade. As the momentum continues to build for the grand theatrical release, it is now revealed that the makers are set to have paid previews on March 18.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) As reported earlier, the advance bookings for the film will commence immediately after the trailer launch, which itself is remarkable as pre-sales for Bollywood films normally kick off just a few days or max a week before the release date. The strategy is aimed at capitalising on the massive buzz surrounding the sequel. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The decision to hold paid previews a day before the official release is seen as a move to maximise the opening momentum and create a strong word-of-mouth ahead of the nationwide rollout on March 19. The paid previews are not a regular thing anymore in Bollywood, as only selected films have this luxury in recent times, and Dhurandhar seems to be one of them. With paid previews reportedly, one thing is almost certain: Dhurandhar 2 is set to deliver the biggest opening for a Bollywood film, and if trade reports are to be believed, it will be by a good margin. All eyes are now on the film's release to end the dry spell and keep the box office on fire. Stay tuned...

Domestic advance bookings for the highly anticipated sequel Dhurandhar: The Revenge are scheduled to commence on March 7 across India. According to a report by Pinkvilla, ticket sales in national cinema chains and major multiplexes will go live immediately following the digital launch of the film's theatrical trailer. The film is set for a Pan-India release on March 19, 2026, coinciding with the Eid holidays. In anticipation of high consumer demand and the film's reported runtime of nearly four hours, national multiplex chains are expected to implement a revised ticket pricing structure. This new category, identified as Super Blockbuster Plus, is designed to account for the extended duration of the film, which naturally limits the number of daily shows per screen. Typically, major tentpole releases are categorized under Blockbuster or Super Blockbuster rates, which see a 10% to 25% premium over standard ticket prices. The introduction of the Super Blockbuster Plus rate suggests that Dhurandhar: The Revenge is being positioned as one of the largest theatrical events of the year. Ticket sales are expected to open based on a provisional censor certificate while the final certification process is completed. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   Given the anticipated volume of ticket sales, the film is expected to face capacity constraints across several major domestic regions during its opening weekend.Produced by Jio Studios in association with B62 Studios and T-Series, the film features Ranveer Singh in the lead and will be released in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam. This wide-scale release marks a significant expansion for the franchise, targeting a global and Pan-India audience simultaneously. The March 19 release window has seen a significant change following the rescheduling of Yash's highly anticipated film, Toxic. Originally slated to clash with Dhurandhar: The Revenge on the same date, the makers of Toxic have officially moved their release to June 4, 2026. This strategic postponement provides the Ranveer Singh-starrer with a clear theatrical window during the Eid 2026 holiday period. By avoiding this high-profile box office clash, Dhurandhar is now positioned to maximize its screen count and domestic collections across all major circuits.

Actress Yami Gautam Dhar has addressed recent social media speculation regarding her activity on Instagram.

In her statement, Yami Gautam Dhar emphasized that the like was likely an accidental click while she was tagged in posts referencing an award function. It has come to my notice that I apparently liked a reel that is condescending toward another actor, she stated. It isn't true and was definitely not done consciously; if anything, it may have been clicked accidentally.

Known for her outspoken nature regarding the inner workings of the film industry, Yami stated that she has never resorted to cheap PR tactics and remains focused strictly on her cinematic output.

In the past, the actress has been vocal about the lack of transparency in award selections, often choosing to distance herself from the ceremonial aspect of the industry in favor of performance-driven projects. The actress has seen a surge in critical and commercial success recently, particularly with the 2024 political thriller Article 370, which was a box-office success. She is also closely associated with the production house of her husband, director Aditya Dhar. Her clarification comes at a time when digital footprints are closely monitored by fans and industry analysts alike. By addressing the situation directly, Yami aims to protect her reputation for being a work-focused professional, urging social media portals to avoid turning accidental clicks into coffee-table gossip.
