Where to Watch Dhurandhar on Netflix in India

Dhurandhar has quietly become one of the biggest streaming stories of 2026. The Ranveer Singh spy thriller topped Netflix's own engagement report as the most-watched non-English film of the year in the first half of 2026, and it is available to watch in India right now. This guide covers where to stream it legally, the record numbers behind the hype, the story, the cast, the Netflix plan you need, and how the sequel is being released.

Quick Answer: Where and When to Watch Dhurandhar in India

Dhurandhar streams exclusively on Netflix in India. The film premiered on the platform on January 30, 2026, according to The Economic Times, which reported the film's midnight OTT debut that Friday.

There is no theatrical re-release, no rental, and no purchase option in India. The film is simply included with an active Netflix subscription, so an existing plan is all you need. It is not available on any other Indian streaming platform.

Why Dhurandhar Is Everywhere: 37 Million Views and the Netflix Record

The reason Dhurandhar keeps making headlines is the viewership data. Netflix's engagement report for January to June 2026 named the film its most-watched non-English title globally, with 37 million views, according to The Indian Express.

The streaming run also set a few individual milestones along the way. As The Week reports, the film became the first Indian movie to cross 7 million views in its opening weekend on Netflix, recording 7.6 million views, spent 10 consecutive weeks in the platform's Global Top 10, and topped Netflix charts in 22 countries.

The praise reached the top of the company too. Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos described Dhurandhar as being bigger than every other English movie on the platform, as reported by The Week and The Times of India.

What Is Dhurandhar About

Dhurandhar is a Hindi spy thriller directed by Aditya Dhar, best known for URI: The Surgical Strike. According to The Indian Express, the film follows an Indian spy who infiltrates terrorist networks in Pakistan.

The film was released in cinemas on December 5, 2025, as Filmibeat reported at the time. It completed its theatrical run before the streaming premiere, and the story centres on the rise of Hamza Ali Mazari in the Karachi underworld, including his origins as Jaskirat Singh Rangi before he becomes a covert operative, per The Week.

Dhurandhar Cast and Characters

The cast is one of the biggest reasons the film travelled so far. Ranveer Singh plays the lead role of the undercover operative. The ensemble also includes R. Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, Sara Arjun and Rakesh Bedi, according to The Indian Express and The Week. Official character names have been announced for the lead role, but individual character details for the full supporting cast are best confirmed from the film itself.

Netflix Plans and Languages in India

Dhurandhar is included with every Netflix plan in India. There is no extra charge, no add-on and no rental fee.

As of this writing, Netflix India offers four plans. Pricing was checked on 2026-08-14:

The prices match figures reported by RecurStop and InfoFlick in 2026. Plans and pricing can change, so it is worth confirming the current rates on Netflix's own site before subscribing.

The film streams in its original Hindi audio, with subtitle options available depending on your region. For the best experience on a TV, the Basic plan and above are required, since the Mobile plan only supports one phone or tablet.

The Extended Raw and Undekha Cut

Fans following the franchise on Netflix have also seen an extended version surface with the tagline Raw and Undekha. In May 2026, reports indicated Netflix would add a version of the film with footage not seen in the theatrical or earlier streaming cut, as WION noted. The unedited international cut of the sequel, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, began streaming on Netflix on June 19, 2026, per Hindustan Times.

What an individual account shows can vary between markets. If the extended cut matters to you, check the title listing on your own Netflix account before starting.

Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge OTT Situation

The sequel, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, had its own theatrical release on March 19, 2026, per Filmibeat. Its streaming home is where things get confusing, because the answer depends on where you are watching.

• In India: Reports point to JioHotstar holding the streaming rights, with a reported ₹150 crore deal, according to News18 and Sacnilk. Note that JioHotstar had not officially announced an India premiere date as of early August 2026, per Sacnilk.
• Internationally: The uncensored version streams on Netflix, which began carrying the unedited international cut on June 19, 2026, per Hindustan Times.

The two films have performed strongly as a franchise, with reports placing the combined theatrical gross past the ₹3,000 crore mark worldwide, as The Week reported.

Other Legal Ways to Watch

For the first film, Netflix is the only legal streaming home in India. The theatrical run concluded before the OTT premiere, and there is currently no rental or purchase option on Indian digital stores, nor any free-with-ads listing. If you want to watch Dhurandhar today, a Netflix subscription is the route.

Availability and pricing on streaming platforms can change. The details in this guide were checked on 2026-08-14.
