Dhurandhar Release: Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar gets an Adult Only certificate from CBFC, releases December 5, 2025. Find out about changes, cast, and its two-part saga.
Dhurandhar Release: Ranveer Singh’s upcoming movie Dhurandhar has received an ‘Adult Only – A’ certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification. After viewing the Aditya Dhar directorial, the CBFC asked the makers to make a few changes and granted them a go-ahead for the release.
CBFC asked the makers to subtly change a minister’s name in one of the scenes. Besides this, they muted a cuss word and reduced a few violent scenes from the Ranveer Singh-starrer. The makers were also asked to add an anti-drug disclaimer in a few scenes. Music and a few more visuals have also been added to the end credits.
With this, Dhurandhar’s final runtime is that of 214 minutes, which is approximately 3 hours and 34 minutes.
Earlier today, the Central Board of Film Certification also gave a green signal to Dhurandhar amid the concerns raised by the parents of Ashoka Chakra and Sena Medal awardee Major Mohit Sharma regarding the release of Ranveer Singh-starrer. CBFC clearly stated that Dhurandhar is not linked to the life of Major Mohit Sharma either directly or indirectly. The censor board also clarified that the film is rather a ‘work of fiction’ and therefore, there is no need to send the movie to the Indian army officials before its release.
Dhurandhar stars Ranveer Singh in the lead role alongside Sara Arjun. While the film is said to be the most violent one from Indian cinema, fans are lauding the Hollywood-level scale on which the story is visualised. The film also stars Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, Akshaye Khanna, and R Madhavan in important roles.
Although there is no official announcement as of yet, reportedly, the makers plan to make Dhurandhar a two-part saga, with part two releasing in the first half of 2026. “There have been reports that Dhurandhar is a two-part saga. Hence, the film, which will be released on December 5, will be the first installment. It’ll end at a decisive point and the story will then continue in the second part," a source close to the film told Bollywood Hungama recently.
Dhurandhar will hit the big screens on December 5, 2025.
