Dhurandhar 2 is turning out to be a massive success at the box office, with no other film currently coming close to its performance. The film continues to draw large crowds to theatres, showing strong demand even weeks after its release. This kind of response has made it one of the biggest theatrical winners in recent times.
Because of this exceptional run, the makers are not willing to rush its OTT release. Normally, films arrive on streaming platforms within an eight week window after their theatrical release. However, Dhurandhar 2 is not following that pattern. The producers want to take full advantage of the film’s popularity in cinemas and maximize its earnings.
As long as audiences keep showing up in theatres, the film has the potential to generate more and more revenue. Releasing it too early on OTT could reduce footfall in cinemas, which is something the makers clearly want to avoid. This is why the digital release has been pushed to a later date.
The decision is simple. The film is performing at a level where it still has strong earning potential, and the team wants to make the most of it before shifting to streaming.
Once the theatrical momentum slows down and audiences begin to move on, Dhurandhar 2 is expected to release on Jio Hotstar. Until then, the focus remains firmly on its box office success and continued dominance in theatres.
