Dhurandhar has been dominating headlines since its theatrical release on December 5, 2025. The film is back in discussion following its OTT drop on January 30, 2026. However, the reason for the buzz is not entirely positive. The spy thriller’s digital release has been met with heavy backlash from viewers due to alterations from the theatrical version. The OTT version features heavy censorship, including muted profanity. Despite the film carrying an ‘A’ certificate, many curse words and intense dialogues have been silenced.
Specific references, such as those to the surname ‘Baloch’, were reportedly muted or altered. Viewers have compared Dhurandhar to films like Animal, which remained uncensored on streaming platforms, and have questioned why Dhurandhar was treated differently. The theatrical version was approximately 3 hours and 34 minutes, while the Netflix version runs 3 hours and 25 minutes. Even amid the controversy, the actors’ performances have continued to emerge as a positive talking point. Here’s all about the wife of the real character Ajit Doval, essayed by R. Madhavan.
