Moviegoers are in for a treat as the first look of Ranveer Singh's highly anticipated film, 'Dhurandhar,' is set to premiere on the big screen alongside the release of 'Param Sundari' on August 29, 2025. This strategic move will allow audiences to get a glimpse of the action thriller before its official release on December 5, 2025.
The first look of 'Dhurandhar' was initially unveiled on July 6, 2025, coinciding with Ranveer Singh's birthday. The clip quickly garnered attention, amassing over 50 million views on YouTube and more than 200 million views across various platforms within just six days. The intense and rugged look of Ranveer Singh in the teaser was widely appreciated, building anticipation for the film.
'Dhurandhar' is directed by Aditya Dhar, who won a National Award for his work on 'URI: The Surgical Strike'. The film boasts an ensemble cast including Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, and Sara Arjun, adding to the excitement surrounding the project. The movie is reportedly inspired by true events and will showcase the courage of India's special agents in Pakistan. It is set in the 1970s and 80s, with R. Madhavan allegedly playing the role of India's current National Security Advisor, Ajit Doval, while Ranveer Singh portrays one of India's first undercover agents. There is also speculation that Ranveer Singh may be playing the role of Major Mohit Sharma, a shooter who had entered Pakistan and befriended terrorists as part of his covert operation.
The trailer for 'Dhurandhar' has been certified U/A 16+ by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and has a runtime of 2 minutes and 42 seconds. This certification suggests that the trailer contains content that may not be suitable for children under the age of 16 without parental guidance.
'Dhurandhar' is produced by Jyoti Deshpande, Aditya Dhar, and Lokesh Dhar under the banners of Jio Studios and B62 Studios. The film's music is composed by Shashwat Sachdev, with lyrics by Kumaar.
Meanwhile, 'Param Sundari,' the film with which 'Dhurandhar's' first look is being released, is a romantic comedy starring Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor in lead roles. Directed by Tushar Jalota and produced by Dinesh Vijan under Maddock Films, the movie tells the story of a North Indian boy and a South Indian girl who fall in love amidst cultural differences. Their romance unfolds through humorous misadventures and heartwarming moments, highlighting the beauty of blending different worlds. The film also features Sanjay Kapoor, Renji Panicker, Siddhartha Shankar, Manjot Singh, and Inayat Verma in key roles.
'Param Sundari' was originally slated to release on July 25, 2025, but was later postponed to August 29, 2025. The film's title is inspired by the popular song "Param Sundari" by A. R. Rahman from the movie 'Mimi'.
The release of 'Dhurandhar' on December 5, 2025, will see it clash with two other big films: Shahid Kapoor's untitled Vishal Bhardwaj project and Prabhas's 'The Raja Saab'. Sanjay Dutt, who is part of both 'Dhurandhar' and 'The Raja Saab', has expressed hope that the films will avoid direct competition and achieve success independently.
With the first look of 'Dhurandhar' creating buzz and 'Param Sundari' offering a light-hearted romantic experience, audiences have a lot to look forward to as the two films hit theaters.
