The Indian spy-action film Dhurandhar: The Revenge is moving from theaters to streaming platforms in India following a successful box-office run [1].
This transition allows the production to capitalize on the film's commercial momentum while offering a version of the movie that contains footage not seen in cinemas. The move reflects a growing trend of releasing extended cuts to incentivize streaming subscriptions.
Directed by Aditya Dhar and starring Ranveer Singh, the film first arrived in theaters on March 19, 2026 [2]. It achieved a worldwide box-office gross of ₹1,700 crore [2].
Reports on the exact streaming date vary. One source said the film would stream starting May 15, 2026 [3]. Other reports indicate a premiere on June 4, with a general streaming release on June 5, 2026 [4].
The streaming version is titled the 'Raw and Undekha' version [5]. This edition is described as an extended cut featuring unseen footage, and uncensored content [3].
There are conflicting reports regarding the hosting platform. Some sources said the film will be available on JioHotstar in India [4]. Other reports said the 'Raw and Undekha' version may be released on Netflix [5].
“The film achieved a worldwide box-office gross of ₹1,700 crore.”
The release of an extended 'Raw and Undekha' version suggests a strategic effort to maximize the lifecycle of the intellectual property. By differentiating the streaming product from the theatrical experience, the studio can attract both new viewers and existing fans who have already paid for a cinema ticket.
