Dhurandhar 2 Gets A Certificate: Runtime, 21 CBFC Cuts and Advance Booking Details Revealed
Dhurandhar: The Revenge has received an A certificate from the CBFC with 21 modifications and a runtime of nearly 3 hours 49 minutes. The film has toned down violent scenes and muted abusive language, while advance bookings surge ahead of release.
Dhurandhar: The Revenge, starring Ranveer Singh and directed by Aditya Dhar, has officially received an A certification from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The much-anticipated sequel has been cleared for release with a total of 21 modifications.
The film has a runtime of 229.6 minutes (3 hours and 49 minutes), making it around 15 minutes longer than the first installment. The CBFC has also mandated the inclusion of disclaimers for disturbing content and drug-related scenes.
CBFC Cuts and Modifications
As part of the 21 changes, several abusive words have been muted or replaced. Violent visuals, including scenes involving head injuries, beheading, and other graphic moments, have been reduced in intensity to meet certification guidelines.
Other revisions include corrections to subtitles, particularly references to demonetisation dates. The filmmakers submitted official approval for references to the Prime Minister and the use of archival news footage. Additionally, English subtitles have been refined and the end credits have been shortened by one minute.
Strong Advance Booking and Paid Previews
The film is already generating strong momentum at the box office with impressive advance bookings and paid previews. Over 4 lakh tickets have reportedly been sold, with early shows starting from 5:30 PM nearly sold out.
Trade analysts are optimistic about a record-breaking run. Early estimates suggest the film could collect around ₹45–50 crore nett from paid previews alone, despite releasing midweek. There is also growing confidence that the film could aim for the ₹1,000 crore milestone.
Full cut list will be out tomorrow but a basic search on CBFC website shows that #DhurandharTheRevenge not only got certification today but also been cut heavily.
