Netflix's Dhurandhar 2: More Gore, Abuse, and Action for Global Fans
15 May
Summary
- International Netflix release features restored gore and uncensored abuses.
- Extended action sequences and previously unseen scenes are included.
- Indian OTT release expected to mirror the theatrical cut, differing from global version.
The international version of Aditya Dhar's espionage thriller 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge - Raw and Uncut' began streaming on Netflix globally on May 14, eight weeks following its theatrical debut. This version significantly differs from the Indian release, featuring restored gore, uncensored abuses, and extended action sequences.
Notably, the 'Raw and Uncut' cut restores two brutal sequences trimmed by the CBFC for theatrical release: Jaskirat's hammer attack and Ranveer Singh's character crushing a man's head with a cement block. The Lyari Gang War episode also includes an extended scene of Jaskirat, under his alias Hamza, hitting a man with a burning fireball.
Verbal abuses, selectively muted in the theatrical cut, are fully audible in the Netflix version, with accurate subtitles. The film also includes additional beheading scenes during the Lyari Gang War sequence, absent from Indian cinemas. A highly discussed addition is the graphic scene of Uzair Baloch playing football with a severed head, a moment teased in trailers but omitted from theatrical viewings.
The international release on Netflix is currently the sole option for audiences seeking the unedited experience, as the Indian JioHotstar release is expected to align with the CBFC-approved theatrical cut. The makers are currently involved in an IP rights case, which has delayed the Indian OTT release.
