Dhurandhar 2 aka Dhurandhar: The Revenge teaser dropped at 12.12 PM on February 3. For the unversed, this was on the lines of its first part, which also
released the teaser on July 6, 2025, at 12:12 PM. While the makers have maintained a certain continuity in the launch time of the two teasers, Dhurandhar 2 has already aroused curiosity about what lies ahead for Ranveer Singh's character Hamza Ali Mazari aka Jaskirat Singh Rangi. The spy thriller from the direction of Aditya Dhar has already become the highest grosser of Hindi cinema. And if buzz is anything to go by, its sequel is also expected to leave cash registers ringing at the box office. While most of its central characters are returning, a new side to Jaskirat's story before he became an Indian spy in Pakistan will unfold. But is that the only connecting thread between the two films? 12.12 PM has indeed become a major point of curiosity for the Dhurandhar franchise. Though no clear explanation has been given by its team so far, that hasn't stopped speculative theories and possible reasons from popping up behind the specific time frame.
What does 12.12 mean for Dhurandhar?
When Dhurandhar part 1's teaser dropped, coinciding with Ranveer's birthday, nobody gave enough thought to the time chosen by its makers. It was only when Aditya Dhar teased fans with a cryptic Instagram story post ahead of part'2 look, that brought 12.12 into notice, leaving the audience scratching their heads.
Fans theories around the specific time
Several fan theories are already in place. Many call it a motif of Dhurandhar and a deliberate symbol for a signature branding element of the franchise, hence being used for crucial announcements to maintain continuity. It represents themes of destiny, planning, and critical turning points in the narrative. Thus, even the first film had significant announcements at this time.
Some are also calling it a suggestion, that 1-2-1-2 is not just a timing, but a signal that the sequel is a direct extension of the first film, and takes us into Hamza's past.
Fans call it "angel number" 1212
An interesting interpretation, however, is how social media perceives. Picking a strand from pop culture, it is being called an "angel number." According to numerologists, angel number 1212 suggests harmony and balance. It depicts trusting yourself, accepting changes, and new beginnings. In the context of Hamza, it might mean his new version and how he turns into the "Wrath of God," as goes the movie's tag, out to avenge the brutality inflicted upon his people on the Indian side. It is a clear case of awakening, alignment, or destiny.
Whether or not these explanations hold any strength can only be confirmed by the makers. Beyond that, we'll get to know more when Dhurandhar 2 releases on March 19, 2026.
