Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is finally set for its OTT debut after weeks of speculation over its digital release. The film has grabbed attention for adopting a dual-platform release strategy, with Netflix handling international streaming while JioHotstar will exclusively stream the movie in India.
The unusual release plan has sparked major buzz among fans, especially after reports revealed that the OTT version will feature an extended and uncensored cut that is longer than the theatrical release.
Directed by Aditya Dhar, the film will begin streaming internationally on Netflix from May 14-15, 2026, depending on viewers’ time zones. However, Indian audiences will not get access to the movie on Netflix. Instead, the action drama will stream exclusively on JioHotstar in India.
The confirmation puts an end to confusion surrounding the movie’s OTT release, as many viewers had expected the sequel to follow the same streaming pattern as the first film.For international viewers, Netflix is reportedly releasing the film under the alternate title Dhurandhar: The Revenge (Raw & Undekha) or Raw & Unseen. The branding is being used to promote a more intense version featuring uncensored content and additional scenes omitted from the theatrical cut.
The OTT version reportedly runs for nearly 3 hours and 52 minutes, around three minutes longer than the theatrical runtime of 3 hours and 49 minutes. Reports suggest the streaming edition restores trimmed dialogues, extended action sequences, and more graphic violence that may have been modified during theatrical certification.
Meanwhile, JioHotstar has reportedly secured the film’s exclusive India streaming rights in a deal valued at nearly Rs 150 crore, making it one of the biggest OTT acquisitions for an Indian film in recent years. Indian subscribers are also expected to receive the extended version once the film premieres on the platform.
The release of Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge reflects a growing trend in Indian cinema, where filmmakers are increasingly using OTT platforms to release longer or uncensored cuts after theatrical runs. With its nearly four-hour runtime and separate international branding, the film has become one of the most high-profile examples of this shift.
