Dhurandhar 2 OTT Release Expected Mid-May Amid Copyright Dispute

Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar 2, a record-breaking spy thriller released in March 2026, is expected to premiere on OTT platform JioHotstar after an 8-10 week theatrical run, likely around mid-May to early June. This timeline emerged during a Delhi High Court copyright dispute over the film's use of a remixed song, Tirchi Topiwale, which delayed official streaming announcements. The mediation between parties failed, and the legal case continues with a hearing scheduled for May 8.
