Ranveer Singh-starrer Dhurandhar continues to draw strong viewership on OTT, cutting across borders despite facing theatrical restrictions in key regions. The Aditya Dhar directorial is currently trending at No. 1 on Netflix across several territories, including India, Pakistan, Bahrain, Oman, and the UAE, highlighting the film\u2019s sustained post-theatrical momentum.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

As per Netflix\u2019s latest weekly rankings, Dhurandhar debuted at the top position in Pakistan during the January 26\u2013February 1 tracking period. The film has similarly secured the No. 1 spot in multiple other markets, reinforcing its wide appeal on streaming platforms.<\/p>\n

In other Gulf regions, where the film did not receive theatrical clearance, Dhurandhar has also managed to chart prominently on Netflix. The film is currently ranked No. 7 in Saudi Arabia and No. 3 in Kuwait, indicating significant viewer interest even in territories where its cinema release was restricted. Meanwhile, Netflix viewing data for Qatar is currently unavailable on the platform\u2019s official website, making it difficult to ascertain the film\u2019s exact standing there.<\/p>\n

The OTT success stands in contrast to the film\u2019s earlier challenges in the Middle East. Dhurandhar was banned across all six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries\u2014the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, and Bahrain\u2014owing to objections raised over its geopolitical themes. The film, which centres on an undercover RAW agent, was denied theatrical certification after regional authorities reportedly flagged its portrayal of Pakistan as sensitive.<\/p>\n

The ban significantly limited the film\u2019s theatrical reach in Middle Eastern markets, traditionally considered crucial for Hindi cinema. However, Dhurandhar continued to perform steadily in India and select international territories and has now found a renewed audience through its digital release, where streaming norms differ from cinema regulations.<\/p>\n

Dhurandhar released theatrically on December 5, 2025, and premiered on Netflix on January 30, 2026, even as it continues its theatrical run in select markets. The film\u2019s strong streaming performance follows closely on the heels of the announcement of its sequel, Dhurandhar: The Revenge. The makers recently unveiled the teaser and a poster confirming a March 19, 2026 release.<\/p>\n

Directed once again by Aditya Dhar, the sequel is slated to clash at the box office with Yash\u2019s highly anticipated film Toxic: A Fairy Tale For Grown Ups.<\/p>\n
