After storming the box office, Dhurandhar has scored another massive victory — this time in the streaming world. Aditya Dhar’s spy thriller, led by Ranveer Singh, has reportedly locked a record-breaking ₹130-crore OTT deal with Netflix, instantly positioning the film among the most expensive digital acquisitions of the year.
According to Bollywood Hungama, the figure comprises streaming rights for both parts of the thriller and hence comes out to be approximately ₹65 crore each.
This number stands out, at a time when OTT platforms have drastically cut down acquisition budgets — not just for its scale, but for the confidence it reflects in the film’s long-term digital appeal.
Industry insiders are calling the release a major milestone in Ranveer Singh’s career, marking his biggest-ever OTT payoff when the two parts are combined.
A Strong Box Office Run Helped Seal the Deal
The film now boasts one of the biggest December openings in recent memory, promising an equally strong digital rollout.
The thriller follows Ajay Sanyal, the Intelligence Bureau Chief, played by R. Madhavan, who spearheads a covert mission to dismantle a deep-rooted terror network operating from across the border.
Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Sara Arjun, Arjun Rampal, and Sanjay Dutt come across as a sharply built cast of actors, weaved into one layered narrative of high stakes.
Part 2 Already on the Horizon
As for digital streaming, early reports suggest that Part 1 is expected to drop on Netflix on January 30, 2026, according to OTT Play — giving the film a healthy theatrical-to-digital window that studios now favour for big-budget action dramas.
Why This Deal Matters
The ₹130-crore acquisition is more than just a financial headline; this deal signals a shift back toward high-value OTT investments for theatrical blockbusters. With platforms turning selective, only those films that have strong box office traction, star and franchise value are commanding premium pricing.
Dhurandhar ticks all three boxes, and the deal strengthens Ranveer’s pull as a global streaming-friendly star.
Final Words
From a power-packed theatre debut to one of the strongest OTT deals in recent times, Dhurandhar is shaping up to be a full-spectrum blockbuster. With a sequel in the pipeline and a premium streaming rollout confirmed, this franchise is poised to rule the big screen and home screens well into 2026.
