• Set to clash with Yash’s Toxic, making it one of the biggest box-office battles of the year  

Industry experts note that the slightly shorter runtime may help improve audience engagement while retaining the grandeur of the franchise. With its certification complete and release date locked, Dhurandhar 2 is poised to be one of the most significant cinematic events of 2026.
