Dhurandhar 2 Release Date Out: Ranveer Singh’s Action Spectacle Faces Off Against Yash’s ‘Toxic’ in March 2026 Mega Clash

The post-credit scene of ‘Dhurandhar’ has officially announced the release date of ‘Dhurandhar Part 2’, setting the stage for a major box office showdown next year. The sequel is scheduled to hit theaters on 19 March 2026, coinciding with Eid and Gudi Padwa, a move designed to capitalize on holiday audiences.

Box Office Battle

Ranveer Singh’s spy-action thriller opened to a ₹27 crore domestic collection on day one, raising high expectations. The sequel promises high-octane action, with Ranveer’s character Hamza taking on Pakistan’s Lyari and avenging past wrongs. Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, and Sara Arjun will return in pivotal roles, adding star power.

Meanwhile, Yash’s ‘Toxic’, a period gangster film featuring five heroines including Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Tara Sutaria, Huma Qureshi, and Rukmini Vasant, is also releasing on the same day. Following the immense success of KGF Chapter 2, anticipation for Yash’s comeback is extremely high, making ‘Toxic’ a formidable competitor.

Screen Wars and Release Strategy

With two major action films releasing on the same date, competition for screen allocations across India is expected to be intense. ‘Toxic’ will have a pan-India release, including Hindi and South markets, while Dhurandhar Part 2 will aim to dominate the Hindi belt.

Adding to the clash, Ajay Devgn’s ‘Dhamal 4’ and Adivi Sesh’s ‘Dakuat’ are also slated for release around the same period, further heightening the cinematic battle for screens and audience attention. The holiday timing ensures that filmmakers are banking on maximum footfall and bumper earnings.

Impact on Other Films

The pan-India hype for ‘Toxic’ has already impacted other scheduled releases. Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Love and War’ and David Dhawan’s ‘Hai Jawani To Ishq Hona Hai’ have been postponed, now slated for the second half of 2026 and 5 June 2026, respectively, due to the massive competition expected in March.

Conclusion

March 2026 promises to be an explosive month for Bollywood, with four major releases converging during the festive season. The battle between Dhurandhar Part 2 and Toxic is set to be one of the biggest cinematic clashes in recent years, keeping audiences and exhibitors on the edge of their seats.
