The trailer for Dhurandhar: The Revenge, the sequel to the 2025 film Dhurandhar, was released by the makers on Saturday ahead of the film’s theatrical release on March 19. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the film continues the story established in the first part and follows the journey of Ranveer Singh’s character Jaskirat Singh Rangi as he navigates a dangerous mission inside Pakistan.
The trailer offers a glimpse into the next phase of the narrative, suggesting a deeper exploration of the power struggle in Lyari while expanding on the undercover operation introduced earlier. The film features a returning ensemble cast that includes Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, R Madhavan, Sara Arjun and Rakesh Bedi.
The newly released trailer highlights Ranveer Singh’s character as he moves closer to consolidating power in Lyari, a region portrayed in the story as a hub of criminal activity and militant networks. Several moments in the trailer suggest that Jaskirat, who had previously infiltrated the gang led by Akshaye Khanna’s Rahman Dakait, is now steadily climbing the ranks within the organisation.
Characters in the trailer even hint at him becoming the next “Lyari ka badshah,” indicating that he may soon take control of the area following the events of the first film. These developments appear to form the central conflict of the sequel, where Jaskirat continues to operate within the criminal network while pursuing his covert mission.
The first film introduced Jaskirat Singh Rangi as an Indian spy who infiltrates a Baloch gang run by Rahman Dakait. Throughout the story, he adopts the identity of Hamza Ali Mazari and becomes deeply embedded within the organisation while secretly working to dismantle a larger terror network from within. The sequel appears to continue this storyline, showing how Jaskirat uses his growing influence inside the gang to pursue the mission assigned to him. The trailer presents a mix of intense action sequences, strategic confrontations and scenes that hint at internal conflicts among members of the organisation.
The trailer is accompanied by a remixed version of the popular track “Ari Ari” by Bombay Rockers, which plays during several action sequences and contributes to the high-energy tone of the preview. The visuals feature gunfights, explosions and tense standoffs as the narrative progresses toward a larger confrontation. Toward the end of the trailer, Ranveer Singh’s character delivers a strong line declaring, “Now India will decide the future of Pakistan.” The dialogue is presented as a key moment in the trailer and signals the geopolitical stakes involved in the story.
The first film, Dhurandhar, was released in theatres on December 5 last year. Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, the film performed strongly at the box office and became one of the biggest commercial successes of the year. According to reported figures, the film collected more than ₹1300 crore worldwide during its theatrical run. Interestingly, the film was released only in Hindi and did not receive a theatrical release in Gulf countries due to the sensitive nature of its subject matter. Even without those markets, the film managed to achieve substantial global earnings.
The supporting cast of the franchise includes Sanjay Dutt as SP Chaudhary Aslam, Arjun Rampal as Major Iqbal and R Madhavan as Ajay Sanyal, the intelligence officer who recruits Jaskirat for the covert mission. Sara Arjun appears as Yalina Jamali, while Rakesh Bedi plays the role of Jameel Jamal. These characters were introduced in the first film and are expected to return in the sequel as the storyline continues to unfold.
The ending of the first film revealed several crucial twists that set the stage for the sequel. Rahman Dakait is ultimately killed by Hamza, though the circumstances are manipulated to make it appear that someone else was responsible. The film also concludes with the revelation that Hamza is actually Jaskirat Singh Rangi, an operative sent into Pakistan by Ajay Sanyal as part of a long-term intelligence mission. This twist confirmed that the events unfolding within the gang were part of a larger covert operation.
With Dhurandhar: The Revenge scheduled to release on March 19, the sequel is expected to continue the storyline from that point and explore how Jaskirat balances his covert mission while navigating the shifting power dynamics within the criminal network he has infiltrated.
