Dhurandhar Headed to Japan With Ranveer Singh’s Localised Promo

The theatrical, dubbed release marks a strategic push into Japan as makers cite the franchise’s multi‑platform earnings and aim to broaden its international box‑office reach.

Overview

  • Jio Studios announced on Thursday, July 2 that Dhurandhar will open in Japanese cinemas on July 10, 2026, with a version dubbed for local audiences.
  • Ranveer Singh recorded a short video message in which he greets Japanese viewers and invites them to experience the film as a large‑screen spectacle.
  • The original Dhurandhar grossed about Rs 1,307.35 crore worldwide, and producers say the two‑film franchise has now crossed roughly ₹3,000 crore in combined earnings.
  • The rollout in Japan follows a wider strategy of theatrical sequels and streaming windows, including extended 'Raw & Undekha' editions on Netflix and JioHotstar designed to widen the franchise’s reach.
  • Producers are targeting Japan because recent Indian blockbusters have found strong returns there, a dynamic that could boost overseas revenue and increase demand for dubbed, star‑led releases.
