Dhurandhar 2 Drops Uncut on Netflix Overseas as JioHotstar Sets June India Launch

JioHotstar is timing the India release after the IPL to maximize reach with an event-style premiere.

Overview

  • Netflix began streaming the international “Raw & Uncut” edition on Thursday, restoring scenes and uncensored dialogue not in India’s theatrical cut.
  • JioHotstar scheduled a Grand Digital Premiere in India on June 4 at 7 pm, with regular streaming from June 5 and a 30-minute “RAW and Undekha” special.
  • The split strategy reflects Jio Studios holding India rights and using JioHotstar at home while Netflix carries the film overseas for broader reach.
  • Viewers in Pakistan posted videos claiming Netflix briefly glitched after the launch and said the title trended No. 1, though these accounts are unverified.
  • The sequel follows a record box-office run that helped the two-film franchise top about Rs 3,100 crore worldwide, raising the stakes for its OTT rollout.
