Highlights:

  • Ranveer Singh’s film has received an adults-only certification from the Irish Censor Board.
  • The runtime is about 235 minutes, nearly four hours long.
  • The film is directed by Aditya Dhar and continues the story of the original blockbuster.
  • Advance bookings in India have already reached about ₹31.9 crore gross.
  • The movie is expected to earn around $4.05 million in its opening weekend in North America.

With only days left before its theatrical debut, new details about the upcoming film Dhurandhar: The Revenge have surfaced following its certification by the Irish Censor Board. The film is scheduled for a global theatrical release on March 19, with special preview screenings planned for March 18.


The censor certificate for the film has now appeared online, offering more clarity about its rating and runtime. According to certification details, the action drama starring Ranveer Singh has been granted an 18 certificate, which means the movie is restricted to adult audiences only.

The rating was reportedly given because the film contains intense action sequences, strong violence, explicit language, and scenes involving mild nudity. The decision is consistent with the rating given to its predecessor, Dhurandhar, which also received an adults-only classification when it was released in December 2025.

Another detail that has generated significant discussion is the film’s runtime. The certification confirms that the movie will run for approximately 235 minutes. This means the film will last close to four hours, making it one of the longest mainstream commercial releases in recent years.

The runtime is notably longer than the first film in the series. The original Dhurandhar had a runtime of about 214 minutes, which means the sequel will be nearly 30 minutes longer. The extended duration suggests that the filmmakers have included an even larger storyline, more action sequences, and additional character development.

The movie is directed by Aditya Dhar and serves as a direct continuation of the storyline introduced in the first film. The original movie became a major box office success and went on to achieve record-breaking collections.

It eventually earned the distinction of becoming the highest-grossing Bollywood film of all time. Its popularity extended beyond India and attracted audiences worldwide, contributing to its massive global earnings.

Because of the success of the first film, expectations for the sequel are extremely high. Industry observers are closely watching the film’s advance booking performance and early international estimates.

According to early booking data, advance ticket sales across India have already reached around ₹31.9 crore in gross revenue. This strong start indicates significant audience interest ahead of the official release.

The film is also expected to perform well overseas. Early projections suggest that Dhurandhar: The Revenge could collect about $4.05 million during its opening weekend in the North American market.

With its long runtime, intense action, and strong fan anticipation, the film is positioned to be one of the most talked-about theatrical releases of the year.

As the release date approaches, fans of Ranveer Singh and the franchise are eagerly waiting to see whether the sequel can match or even surpass the remarkable success achieved by the first film.
