Box office showdown
'Dhurandhar' sequel to clash with 'Toxic' and 'Dhamaal 4'
The sequel will be released in theaters on March 19, 2026. This strategic release date means Dhurandhar will face stiff competition from other major releases such as Yash's Toxic and Ajay Devgn's Dhamaal 4. The first part of Dhurandhar is a film filled with action sequences and political commentary.
Controversy
'Dhurandhar' is not based on Major Mohit Sharma's life
The film's narrative has drawn comparisons to the life of Major Mohit Sharma, a real-life hero. However, Dhar has clarified that Dhurandhar is not based on his life. Major Sharma's family has filed a plea in the Delhi High Court seeking a stay on the film's release. They claim that its portrayal of his covert operations could jeopardize national security and that no consent was sought from him or his family.
