Ranveer Singh and Aditya Dhar’s movie Durandal 2, whose actual title is Durandal: The Revenge, has already made a huge amount of money at the box office even before its theatrical release. The film will be released on March 19, 2026, yet it has already collected Rs 245 million. Because of this, the upcoming film is already profitable.This amount does not come from ticket sales. It comes from rights sold before release.
Digital, satellite and music rights bring huge profits
A large portion of this amount comes from digital streaming rights. According to a report in Pinkvilla, the rights were bought by the popular OTT platform for Rs 150 million. This is a huge amount of money and shows how big the demand for the film is.
Along with this, satellite rights for all languages were sold for Rs 50 billion. This means that all the TV channels that will later show the movie have already paid a lot of money. Music rights also brought in Rs 45 billion. Adding up all the rights, the total value is Rs 245 million.The first part of the film ‘Dhurandhar’ also had good rights outside the theaters. These rights were sold for Rs 140 million. But this time, the number has increased even more. The makers know how big the first part became after its theatrical release and post-OTT. As a result, the digital rights for Part 2 have almost doubled.
Release date and weekend specials
‘Dhurandar 2’ will be released in theaters on March 19, 2026. This date was chosen because it is close to the holidays of Eid and Gudi Padwa. During long holidays, more people go to the movies because they have free time. This allows the film to collect more box office revenue.The film will also be released in many locations at the same time, and the team wants people to have the best experience in theaters first. After its theatrical release, the film is scheduled to release on OTT in the second week of May 2026.
