Dhurandhar Expands Into a Two-Part Franchise
Ranveer Singh’s much-anticipated film Dhurandhar has officially become a franchise. Pinkvilla has learned that the makers have locked a two-part release plan, setting the stage for one of the biggest cinematic events of the coming years.
Dhurandhar Part 1 is set to arrive in cinemas on December 5, 2025, followed by Dhurandhar Part 2 targeting a Summer 2026 release.
This marks one of Ranveer Singh’s most ambitious projects to date, and the scale has prompted the team to turn it into a franchise from the very beginning.
Why Dhurandhar Is Being Released in Two Parts
According to sources closely involved with the project, splitting the story into two films was an organic decision.
A story too big for a single film
Dhurandhar is described as a massive cinematic universe led by a powerful narrative. The world built by the makers needed more than one film to be told with the detail, depth, and emotion it deserves.
Part 1 ends on a natural cliff
Insiders reveal that the ending of the first part will leave audiences wanting more, making the second part a natural extension rather than an afterthought.
Part 1 Edit Locked: Nearly 3 Hours Long
The team has already completed the edit of Dhurandhar Part 1. The runtime is close to three hours, indicating that the film is packed with world-building, action, and drama.
Meanwhile, Dhurandhar Part 2 is currently in the pre-production phase. Early work on sets, storyboarding, and action choreography is already underway.
A Strategic Move: Bigger Story, Better Business
Splitting the film into two parts also makes sense from a business standpoint.
Designed for a large-scale budget
Dhurandhar is a high-budget production with intense detailing in visuals, action, and world creation. Dividing the story into two films helps manage costs without compromising quality.
Enhancing box office potential
Two releases allow the franchise to build momentum. If Part 1 connects with the audience, it will naturally push Part 2 to become one of the most awaited films of 2026.
Ranveer Singh’s First Look Has Already Gone Viral
Ranveer Singh’s character reveal from Dhurandhar created a storm across social media platforms. Fans praised the transformation, styling, and intensity, while the first look also introduced other key actors like Akshaye Khanna.
The excitement has only grown since the makers confirmed the two-part plan.
Aditya Dhar’s Vision Comes to Life
Dhurandhar is written, directed, and produced by Aditya Dhar, known for crafting powerful, immersive cinematic worlds. With the release dates locked for both parts, Dhar and the team are now preparing for a massive promotional journey ahead.
The film is expected to combine strong storytelling with grand visuals, something Dhar has been known for.
Countdown Begins to December 5, 2025
With Dhurandhar Part 1 hitting theatres on December 5, 2025, the industry is gearing up for a major box office moment. The Summer 2026 release of Part 2 further sets the stage for a back-to-back cinematic experience that could shape the next big Indian film franchise.
All eyes are now on December 5 — the day audiences step into the mysterious, intense, and larger-than-life world of Dhurandhar for the first time.
