Dhurandhar: The Revenge now creates history on OTT, gets over 50 million viewers in its opening weekend

<p>As Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar: The Revenge secured its position on OTT platforms, the wave of excitement has once again swept among fans. Before watching the film on OTT, here’s a short explanation of a few unforgettable moments of Ranveer Singh you can’t miss. From the innocence of Jaskirat to the commanding presence of Hamza, he delivers a performance filled with detail, emotion and conviction. Take a look.</p><h3>The family portrait that introduces Jaskirat</h3><p>One of the most understated yet important moments arrives right at the beginning. In a seemingly ordinary family photograph, Ranveer establishes Jaskirat as a gentle and emotionally grounded young man. Through his body language and expressions, he conveys innocence, warmth and a sense of belonging. It's a brief scene, but it lays the foundation for everything that follows. Knowing where the character eventually ends up makes these opening moments even more poignant during a rewatch.</p>

<h3>When grief turns into fury</h3><p>The turning point in Jaskirat's life is one of the film's most emotionally charged sequences. Faced with a devastating personal loss, Ranveer portrays a man whose world is collapsing around him. Instead of relying on dramatic outbursts alone, he layers the scene with pain, disbelief and helplessness. The rage feels earned because it emerges from heartbreak, making the transformation all the more powerful.</p>

Dhurandhar: The Revenge

<h3>The rise of Hamza</h3><p>The moment Hamza fully embraces his destiny remains one of the most celebrated portions of the franchise. Whether it's the way he enters a room, commands a crowd or simply sits in silence, Ranveer radiates authority. The performance isn't dependent on dialogue; it's built on presence. Through controlled expressions and unwavering confidence, he creates a character whose influence can be felt in every frame. It's a sequence that continues to stand out for the sheer magnetism he brings to the screen.</p><h3>The reunion with Pinda</h3><p>Among the film's quieter moments, the reunion with Pinda remains one of its most emotionally rich. Years of friendship, memories and unresolved emotions come together in a single interaction. Rather than making the scene overly dramatic, Ranveer opts for restraint. Small changes in expression and subtle pauses communicate everything the character is feeling. It's a reminder that some of the strongest acting often happens in silence.</p>

<h3>Aalam's death and the cost of power</h3><p>Hamza's most heartbreaking moment comes when he has to kill Aalam with his own hands. The rage and breakdown Singh brings to the scene grab attention. He expertly balances conflicting emotions throughout the sequence. On the outside, Hamza tries to keep control, but underneath, the audience can see the pain eating him up.</p><h3>The showdown with Major Iqbal</h3><p>Every great action drama needs a memorable confrontation, and the clash between Hamza and Major Iqbal delivers exactly that. Ranveer approaches the scene with complete confidence, using both physicality and dialogue delivery to heighten the tension. His now-famous line, "Agar tum logon ke patakhe khatam ho gaye ho toh main dhamaka shuru karu," became one of the defining moments of the film, drawing loud reactions from audiences and further cementing Hamza's larger-than-life image.</p>

<h3>The man behind the myth</h3><p>Despite Hamza's intimidating persona, some of the film's strongest moments arrive when the character allows himself to be vulnerable. In a deeply emotional conversation with Yalina, he briefly sheds the armour he has built around himself and reconnects with the person he once was. As he asks her to call him by his real name, Jaskirat, viewers are reminded that beneath the feared figure lies a man still carrying the scars of his past. Ranveer handles the scene with remarkable tenderness, making it one of the emotional highlights of the film.</p>

<h3>The way back home</h3><p>The final stretch of the film contains one of its most quietly effective moments. With very little dialogue, Ranveer communicates a flood of emotions through expressions and movement alone. There is longing, regret, relief and uncertainty all present in a single sequence. It is a testament to his ability to hold attention without saying a word and demonstrates the confidence of an actor fully in control of his craft.</p>

Dhurandhar: The Revenge begins its OTT journey. After seeing massive success at the box office, the film has once again become the most talked-about. For those who didn’t get a chance to witness Ranveer Singh’s gritty performance, look at the powerful scenes that still give the chills.

From the innocence of Jaskirat to the commanding presence of Hamza, he delivers a performance filled with detail, emotion and conviction. Take a look. The family portrait that introduces Jaskirat One of the most understated yet important moments arrives right at the beginning.

Pakistani leader Nabil Gabol, on whom Rakesh Bedi's character in Dhurandhar is based, has denied ever meeting fugitive Dawood Ibrahim. Gabol claimed that what the film depicts is false. 

Almost every character in Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar has left an indelible mark on the audience. Veteran actor Rakesh Bedi’s performance as Jameel Jamali particularly emerged as a fan favourite, especially after the release of Dhurandhar 2. The character is reportedly inspired by Pakistani politician Nabil Gabol. The politician has now reacted to Dhurandhar: The Revenge, which shows his character meeting fugitive Dawood Ibrahim reffered as Bade Sahab in the film. In the film, Bade Sahab is shown as a shadowy figure initially and later as a bedridden figure, who orchestrates events from the background. A key scene suggests that his condition is the result of slow poisoning by Jameel Jamali, who is later revealed as an Indian intelligence agent. Has Nabil Gabol met Dawood Ibrahim? In a recent interview, Nabil Gabol was asked about the speculation around speculations surrounding Dawood Ibrahim’s whereabouts in Karachi. The host asked him, “Humare Mumbai se ek padosi rehte hain Karachi mein, unhe bade sahab bolte hain. Kya aap mile ho unse (Our neighbour from Mumbai lives in Karachi; he is called Bade Sahab.

Directed by Aditya Dhar, the movie, led by Ranveer Singh, revolves around an Indian spy, Hamza Ali Mazai/Jaskirat Singh Rangi. Apart from Singh, the movie also stars R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sara Arjun and others. 

Dhurandhar: The Revenge, directed by Aditya Dhar, plunges audiences into pulse-pounding espionage, revolving around Indian undercover agent Hamza Ali Mazari. Released on March 19, the film has been receiving widespread acclaim from fans across the globe, not just in the domestic market. While the movie continues to draw audiences to theatres in the West, it has not impressed critics to the same extent. The sequel takes viewers back into Hamza Ali Mazari’s world, focusing on his rise in Lyari and within the ISI, as well as his involvement with Pakistan-based terror groups, all while he seeks revenge for multiple terrorist attacks. International media slams Dhurandhar: The Revenge Starring Ranveer Singh, the film holds a 38% rating on the Tomatometer on Rotten Tomatoes. Beyond the platform, it has largely received negative reviews from international critics, many of whom have criticised its brutal violence. Also read: Dhurandhar 2 BO collection Day 6: Film mints THIS much on Tuesday Nicolas Rapold of The New York Times, in the review, wrote that the movie of the, ‘’current moment, which isn’t exactly a comfort.'' ‘’Numbing violence routinely features burning people alive and point-blank executions, along with threats to wipe out bloodlines. (The music feels less like punchy needle-drops than the background to gaming, which one first-person-shooter flourish evokes.).'' the review reads. Meanwhile, Sarah Manvel, in her review for Movies We Texted About, called the entire experience sociopathic.

<p>He further added that director Aditya Dhar was very careful about the scene and had instructed him to put the cigarette aside before delivering the lines.</p>

<p>''There's a slight misunderstanding. I am absolutely certain that before this scene, before saying this line, Aditya Dhar ji - who pays more attention to all these things than I do - told me to put out the cigarette well before delivering this line.

Additionally, they have demanded that the film's screening be suspended until corrective steps are taken and that legal action be initiated against those responsible, including the director, producers, and the lead actor. The complaint further highlights that the poster portrays the actor in the film wearing a turban, long beard, and a kara - all sacred symbols of Sikhism - while holding a cigarette. They claim that it violates the Sikh code of conduct. What’s the truth? A few days back, news surfaced that a legal notice had been served to the makers and concerned authorities over similar concerns. The controversy gained more attention after Paramjit Singh Sarna shared a detailed post on X criticising the poster. He wrote, "The poster of the 'Pralay' song from the film Dhurandhar 2 depicts a turbaned Sikh character holding a cigarette. This portrayal is deeply offensive and a serious violation of Sikh religious principles. "In Sikh tradition, tobacco is strictly prohibited and regarded as a Bajjar Kurehit, one of the gravest breaches of the Sikh code of conduct. Displaying a Sikh wearing a Dastaar while holding a cigarette is therefore a blatant misrepresentation of Sikh identity and hurts the sentiments of Sikhs worldwide," he added. Also read: Rishab Shetty praises Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar 2: 'Brilliant storytelling' "The Sikh turban is a sacred article of faith. Its use in this context is completely irrelevant to the narrative of the film and appears to trivialise and misrepresent Sikh beliefs before a global audience. Such imagery directly attacks Sikh sentiments and projects a distorted understanding of the Sikh faith. We urge the concerned authorities to take immediate cognisance of this matter, investigate the portrayal, and direct the makers to remove or correct this offensive poster," he concluded. Soon after the post went viral, many on the internet pointed out that the controversial poster was not official. It was revealed to be fan-made using AI, and that the film does not even feature any song titled Pralay. While the alleged poster seems to be AI-generated and not actually a part of the film, a complaint has been filed against the film, its maker, and the lead actor. So far, the makers of Dhurandhar: The Revenge have not issued any official statement regarding the controversy.

<p>Members of the Sikh community have objected to an alleged poster that features Ranveer Singh dressed as a Sikh with a cigarette in hand. While fans have stated that the poster is AI generated, a complaint has been filed with the Mumbai police against the film and its makers.&nbsp;</p>
