Dhurandhar ‘Raw & Undekha’ version drops on Netflix and Jio Hotstar but runtime is exactly the same

When Netflix and JioHotstar announced ‘Raw & Undekha’ versions of Dhurandhar, fans expected something substantially different from the theatrical and existing OTT cuts, perhaps deleted scenes, extended action blocks or a grittier uncensored edit. Instead, viewers who streamed the film say the version offers almost nothing new apart from unmuted abuses. After watching the film, many viewers were left underwhelmed. Fans online claim the so-called ‘Raw & Undekha’ version is identical to the existing OTT cut, with the only noticeable difference being that the abuses are now unmuted. The runtime on both platforms remains exactly the same as the original streaming version , 3 hours and 25 minutes, leading many to ask: what exactly is ‘undekha’ here? Netizens react to Dhurandhar Raw and Undekha Several users on social media expressed disappointment after watching the film. One user wrote, “#Dhurandhar Part 1 – RAW & UNCENSORED is now streaming on Netflix India – 205 minutes runtime..no extra scenes but dialogues are unmuted now.” Another user posted, “#Dhurandhar Part 1 #RawAndUndekha is just abuses being Uncensored.

EXCLUSIVE: Dhurandhar 2 advance bookings open on March 7; Jio Studios to introduce Super Blockbuster Plus Rate in National Chains

The highly anticipated Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is gearing up for the grand release on Eid 2026, i.e. March 19. The overseas advances for the Ranveer Singh starrer opened earlier this week to an expectedly roaring start. The attention now shifts to the domestic market, where similar fireworks are expected.  The wait will not be long. Pinkvilla has exclusively learned that the advance bookings in India are set to open tomorrow (March 7) across national chains and key multiplexes. Ticket sales will go live immediately after the launch of the theatrical trailer, which is scheduled to drop tomorrow. The sale plans will commence on a provisional censor certificate while the final certification process is completed. Anticipating the sky-high buzz and the enormous demand, the national chains are introducing a higher ticket pricing labelled as “Super Blockbuster Plus”. Normally the tentpole releases get “Super Blockbuster” and “Blockbuster” pricing, which is around 10-25 per cent higher than normal. At nearly four hours runtime, it also makes logistical sense for the cinemas to have higher than normal prices. …

Dhurandhar makers asked to mute ‘Baloch’ by I&B Ministry; 50% screens given to Ikkis with Jio Studios intervention | Bollywood News

Dhurandhar makers asked to mute ‘Baloch’ by I&B Ministry; 50% screens given to Ikkis with Jio Studios intervention | Bollywood News

As the new year kicks off today, Aditya Dhar’s blockbuster period spy thriller Dhurandhar faces two setbacks. The first is in the form of an I&B Ministry’s order to make a few changes and replace the existing print with the updated one from January 1. The other is 50% of single screens giving the Ranveer Singh-starrer up to make way for Sriram Raghavan’s period war drama Ikkis starting Thursday. What’s the I&B Ministry order? A trade source confirmed to SCREEN that the I&B Ministry has asked the makers to remove the word Baloch from the film. Since it’s a word that pops up quite frequently in the film, it’s unclear whether all references to Baloch have been removed from the film or only some of the more contentious ones. For instance, Akshaye Khanna’s character Rahman Dakait is hailed as a messiah of the Baloch community in the film and is called Rehman Baloch. Ranveer Singh’s character Hamza also says he is from the same community. The Baloch are shown supplying weapons to him, which he …

Ranveer Singh’s Spy Thriller Is A Huge Success & Here’s How Jio Studios President Jyoti Deshpande Played A Significant Role!

Jio Studios President, Jyoti Deshpande, Is Redefining The Studio Business In Indian Cinema (Photo Credit: PR) As Ranveer Singh starrer Dhurandhar crosses the 800-crore gross box office mark globally just 16 days into its release, the numbers are dominating the headlines. But within the industry, the conversation has quickly shifted from box-office tallies to something more than that, the series of decisions that made such a release possible in the first place. At the centre of those decisions was Jyoti Deshpande, President of Jio Studios, whose approach to building filmed entertainment at scale is altering how Indian studios operate.

The decision was driven by long-term economics. It was a risk of sorts in the current volatile market, as it extended audience engagement and created continuity beyond a single theatrical window. However, the studio positioned the film in …
