Dhurandhar starts streaming on Netflix after month-long theatrical run; adds Tamil, Telugu versions

After smashing box office records by earning over ₹1,000 crore during its theatrical run, Dhurandhar began streaming on Netflix from Friday, with director Aditya Dhar calling it a new chapter for the film that remained in cinemas for more than a month.

Starring Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, Sara Arjun and Rakesh Bedi, the film broke multiple records to emerge as the highest-grossing single-language Hindi film in India, with domestic net collections crossing a massive ₹1,000 crore. The film released in cinemas on 5 December and continued drawing audiences through January ahead of its Netflix premiere.

Audiences can also watch the film in Tamil and Telugu, in addition to Hindi, on the streaming platform.

“The theatrical response to Dhurandhar was deeply humbling, especially witnessing audiences connect with its story, characters and scale. With its release on Netflix, the film begins a new chapter — reaching farther, inviting new viewers to discover its layers and revisit its moments in their own time,” director Dhar said in a statement.

Monika Shergill, Vice-President of Content at Netflix India, said Dhurandhar has become a true pop culture moment — a blockbuster that has captured audience imagination and sparked widespread conversation.

“We are excited to bring this film to Netflix, making it available to audiences in over 190 countries. Ambitious and bold, Dhurandhar is crafted with exceptional vision by director Aditya Dhar and produced by Jio Studios and B62 Studios. Its Netflix journey marks a creative partnership that has grown through many successful films over the years.

“The stellar performances by Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna and the brilliant ensemble cast make it one of the most anticipated films on streaming. It’s thrilling when we are able to surprise and delight our members with the best of Indian cinema for fans here and around the world,” she said.

Producer Jyoti Deshpande, President of Jio Studios, said, “Dhurandhar not only reset the bar and set new box office records worldwide for an Indian film, it also raised the bar in showcasing India’s command over the craft of cinema and a brave new style of storytelling that transcends language and geography, drawing audiences into an unforgettable immersive experience. Dhurandhar epitomises our vision of taking stories rooted in India to the world with narratives that cross over.

“In many ways, we opted for an almost OTT-style, binge-watch, chapter-based format for the film, which resonated with audiences worldwide. We fully expect to amplify Dhurandhar’s place in popular culture with the film’s Netflix premiere, which will help it reach even more viewers in India and across the world,” she added.

Producer Lokesh Dhar of B62 Studios said that from script to screen, Dhurandhar has been driven by vision and scale.

“Its record-breaking box office run marks a proud moment for Indian cinema, and with its Netflix release, the film is set to reach and resonate with audiences worldwide,” he said.

The film was not only a box office hit but also generated several viral moments on social media through its songs, Ranveer Singh’s hair flip and Akshaye Khanna’s effortless dance.
