Fans have been wondering why Dhurandhar, starring Ranveer Singh, Akshay Khanna, and more, has a shorter runtime than the original ever since it debuted on Netflix at midnight. The Netflix version of the Aditya Dhar movie is somewhat longer than 3 hours and 25 minutes. But the original version was 214 minutes (3 hours and 34 minutes). Additionally, some dialogue and profanity from the movie have allegedly been muffled by the site, according to fans.
In an exclusive interaction with media houses, the industry sources opened up about the run time and dialogue changes in the movie. They said that occasionally, before a movie is released on OTT, filmmakers may decide to make a few changes to the film. It can be a change in the film’s tempo or shortening of the credits. This is frequently done to give the audiences a better viewing experience. Depending on what they believe would best serve their audience, a few sequences that couldn’t be included in theatricals are occasionally added or cut out. However, all adjustments are made by the production firms, and promptly reported to the platforms.
Fans notice the OTT’s Version 3 minutes shorter
The Baloch group filed a petition a few weeks after the movie’s premiere to protest how they were portrayed. Especially in relation to a line Sanjay Dutt said. Following this, the court ordered the makers to change some scenes. On January 1st, the updated version debuted in theatres.
The updated duration is around 209 minutes (roughly 3 hours 29 minutes), according to the CBFC certificates that were granted on December 4th and January 5th. Consequently, contrary to what is being said on social media, the Netflix version is roughly 3 minutes shorter.
Box office collection for Dhurandhar overseas
In just 57 days, Dhurandhar has made 298.33 crore at the foreign box office. Numbers according to the most recent update. In important markets like North America, it faces competition not only from Bollywood but also from South giants like Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu and Chatha Pacha. Nevertheless, people are still drawn to the spy action thriller.
At the worldwide box office, Ranveer Singh’s movie was the top grossing Indian production of 2025. Additionally, it is eighth highest-grossing Bollywood movie ever made abroad. Unlocking the 300 crore club was the next major goal. It is currently less than 2 crores away from reaching the milestone at a rapid rate.
