Recent reports have suggested that Ranveer Singh’s blockbuster film Dhurandhar may begin streaming on Netflix India from January 30. While this date has created excitement among fans, it does not appear to be very likely when the industry norms are considered. Dhurandhar released in theatres on December 5th and has already delivered a massive box office performance.
In the Hindi film industry, there is a standard window that most films follow before moving to digital platforms. A theatrical release needs to maintain an eight week gap before it can premiere on OTT. If Dhurandhar were to stream on January 30, the film would have completed only seven weeks in cinemas. This would go against the usual OTT release pattern followed by major Hindi releases.
Based on this logic, the earliest possible streaming date for Dhurandhar would be around February 6. Even that date is not guaranteed. The film is still performing extremely well at the box office and continues to attract large audiences. When a film maintains strong momentum in theatres, its digital release is often delayed to allow it to earn more from ticket sales.
Because of this ongoing success, there is also a strong chance that Dhurandhar may not arrive on OTT even in early February. The makers may decide to extend its theatrical run further before finalizing a streaming date. At the moment, Netflix India has not made any official announcement regarding the film’s digital premiere.
Considering all these factors, it seems very unlikely that Dhurandhar will start streaming on Netflix India on January 30. Viewers may need to wait for official confirmation, as the final OTT release date could be pushed further depending on the film’s box office performance.
