Dhurandhar 2 first half review: PM Modi’s cameo to Bade Sahab’s shocking entry, see what viewers are saying
After three months, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, the highly anticipated sequel to Dhurandhar, is set to be released in theatres tomorrow, with previews beginning today.
Audiences are geared up to watch Dhurandhar 2, one of the most-awaited Hindi film releases of 2026. Unlike Dhurandhar, the sequel will be a pan-India release, with dubbed versions in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam.
In Dhurandhar 2, Ranveer Singh returns to play Indian spy Jaskirat Singh Rangi, who goes deep undercover in Pakistan’s Lyari, a town infamous for gang wars, as Hamza Ali Mazari. In the second part of Aditya Dhar’s spy action thriller, viewers will see Hamza become the ‘King of Lyari’ after the death of Rehman Dakait (Akshaye Khanna).
Early reactions to Dhurandhar: The Revenge have started pouring in. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to X to review the film. He wrote, “The expectations from the sequel to #Dhurandhar were naturally sky-high… Thankfully, #DhurandharTheRevenge not only meets those mammoth expectations – it surpasses them by leaps and bounds.”
Another wrote, “Already feels like this could be the greatest Indian film ever. The filmmaking is really good, and the music carries the film well. Everything feels very real and intense. The interval twist was really good and sets up the second half perfectly. Only issue so far is the length, but the positives easily cover it.”
A user mentioned, “It’s expected the famous/infamous football scene has been removed by the CBFC in India from #DhurandharTheRevenge. I knew football will never get the deserved recognition in this country.”
Another user on X wrote, “Atiq Ahmad has a role along with Nawaz Sharif, and the biggest suspense was of #Badesaab, who is none other than #DawoodIbrahim #DhurandharTheRevenge.”
Apart from the Badesaab revelation and Ranveer Singh’s revenge saga, Narendra Modi makes a notable appearance in Dhurandhar: The Revenge, this time through his 2016 demonetisation speech. The film shows the demonetisation era, when currency notes were invalidated.

Seeing PM Modi being cheered in theatres, a user tweeted, “Bruh, people are cheering for Modi more than Ranveer Singh in Dhurandhar.”
Another excited fan commented, “Modi ji made a cameo in Dhurandhar: The Revenge. You are not ready for this. #DhurandharTheRevenge.”
PM Narendra Modi is also featured following his 2014 Lok Sabha victory.
Meanwhile, the previews of the film only have the first half and not the second half.
Dhurandhar 2 feels less like a movie and more like a loud propaganda reel. Weak story, forced agenda, and over-the-top dialogues everywhere. Characters feel like slogans, not real people. No subtlety, no depth—just noise. By the end, it’s not impactful, just exhausting. ?… pic.twitter.com/pPzj676Z7g

Ahead of the release of Dhurandhar 2, director Aditya Dhar took to social media to urge fans not to spill spoilers. He wrote, “We’ve put our hearts into Dhurandhar: The Revenge so you can experience every twist, every emotion, exactly the way it’s meant to be felt.” Aditya emphasised that the movie should be experienced in a theatre, in the dark, with friends, family, and even strangers.
He further urged fans and followers, “That’s how films should be experienced. Not on someone’s phone in a blurry image.”
