More about the film

Positioned as the final instalment in the Dhurandhar duology, the film builds upon the narrative established in its 2025 predecessor. It features an ensemble cast led by Ranveer Singh, alongside Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Sara Arjun and Rakesh Bedi, among others, many of whom reprise their roles.

The storyline follows an undercover Indian intelligence agent navigating the complex underbelly of Karachi’s criminal networks and political corridors.

The narrative intertwines elements inspired by real geopolitical developments in South Asia, including events such as the 2014 Indian general election and the 2016 banknote demonetisation, lending the film a semi-realistic backdrop.

Shot extensively across multiple locations including Punjab, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh and Thailand, the production mounted a large-scale visual canvas, with certain international locations doubling for Pakistan-based sequences. With a runtime of 229 minutes, the film ranks among the longest Indian productions, reflecting its expansive storytelling ambition.
