The anticipation for the sequel to the cult-favorite action thriller Dhurandhar has reached a fever pitch, but the latest update from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) suggests that the second installment will be significantly darker than its predecessor.
The teaser for the upcoming film, officially titled Dhurandhar: The Revenge, was recently cleared by the censor board with a strict “A” (Adults Only) certificate. This rating has sent shockwaves through social media, hinting that the filmmakers have leaned into a more visceral, uncompromising style of storytelling for the sequel.
While the original Dhurandhar was praised for its sharp dialogue and stylized action, it managed to appeal to a broad audience. However, sources close to the production suggest that the sequel explores themes of betrayal and brutal retribution that required a more mature approach.
The CBFC’s decision to grant an “A” certificate specifically for a teaser is relatively rare and usually indicates high levels of violence, intense imagery, or strong language. Insiders who have seen glimpses of the footage describe it as a “no-holds-barred” look at the protagonist’s descent into a world of vengeance.
The film sees the return of the original lead, reprising the titular role that became a career-defining performance. The plot of Dhurandhar: The Revenge reportedly picks up two years after the events of the first film, following the protagonist as he tracks down those who dismantled his life in the final act of the original movie.
“We didn’t want to dilute the stakes,” said a member of the writing team. “The title isn’t just for show. This is a story about the cost of vengeance, and to tell it honestly, we had to embrace the ‘A’ rating. We aren’t making a movie for everyone; we’re making it for the fans who want to see the character pushed to his absolute limit.”
Trade analysts are divided on whether the “A” rating will impact the film’s box office potential. While it limits the audience to adults, it also builds a “must-see” reputation for fans of gritty, realistic cinema.
The teaser is expected to drop on major digital platforms later this week. With the “A” certificate now public, fans are bracing themselves for a first look that promises to be as polarizing as it is thrilling. To know such latest updates tuned to tellyboosters.com Thank you!
