International re-releases remain uncommon for Hindi-language films, underscoring strong worldwide appetite for the franchise. North America will account for 185 screens in the re-release, reflecting significant demand ahead of the sequel’s arrival.

“Dhurandhar: The Revenge” will offer Wednesday screenings across the U.S. and Canada on March 18, one day before the global launch. The advance shows will predominantly utilize Premium Large Format auditoriums equipped with oversized screens, advanced audio including Dolby Atmos, superior projection technology and premium seating – exhibition formats more commonly deployed for major Hollywood tentpoles. Advance tickets for the Wednesday screenings have already sold out at numerous locations.

“Dhurandhar” is told in two parts, with the first installment following a decade-long Indian intelligence operation where an undercover agent infiltrates Karachi’s criminal and political underworld. The sequel is expected to continue from the cliffhanger ending.

The sequel’s recently released trailer features Ranveer Singh appearing in dual personas as Jaskirat and Hamza. R. Madhavan returns as strategist Ajay Sanyal, with Arjun Rampal as ISI Major Iqbal and Sanjay Dutt as SP Chaudhary Aslam. The preview emphasizes action set pieces and dramatic confrontations.

Aditya Dhar wrote, directed and produced the film. Jyoti Deshpande and Lokesh Dhar also produce. The sequel will release in the Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam languages.

“Dhurandhar: The Revenge” opens worldwide March 19, timed to Gudi Padwa, Ugadi and Eid celebrations.
