The wait is finally over, yet the timing has sparked a wave of disappointment across the nation. After weeks of intense speculation and conflicting rumors regarding the digital debut of Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, JioHotstar has officially updated its platform, confirming that the Ranveer Singh starrer will begin streaming in India on June 4, 2026.
While the announcement finally provides clarity, it has come as a bitter pill for many Indian fans. The espionage thriller, directed by Aditya Dhar, has been dominating conversations since its theatrical release on March 19. With international audiences gaining access to the film—including a special “Raw & Undekha” version on Netflix as of May 15—domestic viewers are expressing their frustration over having to wait nearly three more weeks for the home-grown platform release.
Social media has been flooded with reactions from fans who feel the delay is unjustified, especially given the film’s record-breaking theatrical run and the excitement surrounding its digital arrival. Many are questioning why the platform chose such a significant gap, particularly as spoilers from the international “Raw & Undekha” cut are already beginning to circulate online, potentially threatening the viewing experience for local audiences.
Despite the backlash, the anticipation for the Indian OTT cut remains high. Reports suggest that the JioHotstar version will be three minutes longer than the theatrical cut, clocking in at 3 hours and 52 minutes. This extended edition is expected to feature sequences that were previously kept out of the theatrical version, promising a more immersive experience for those who have already watched it on the big screen.
The film, which has cemented its place as one of the highest-grossing Indian projects in history, continues to generate massive buzz. Beyond Ranveer Singh’s powerhouse performance, the ensemble cast—featuring Sara Arjun, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, and Arjun Rampal—has kept audience interest at an all-time high.
As June 4 approaches, all eyes are on how JioHotstar manages this transition. While the platform hopes the extended runtime and the “Raw & Undekha” elements will drive viewership despite the delay, the risk of piracy and spoiler fatigue looms large. For now, the countdown has officially begun.
