Overview
- Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar: The Revenge and Yash’s Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups remain slated for an Eid release on March 19.
- Ram Gopal Varma publicly sided with Dhurandhar, calling the matchup a clash of cinematic cultures and arguing Dhurandhar “respects the audience’s intelligence.”
- Director Sanjay Gupta called the same‑day release “unfortunate,” predicting the films will eat into each other’s business because many viewers will not pay for two big titles in a month.
- Early digital signals favor Toxic, with its teaser drawing about 22 million YouTube views in 24 hours versus roughly 15 million for Dhurandhar 2’s earlier teaser, as reported by trade coverage.
- Dhurandhar 2’s trailer is reportedly planned for early March, while a viral CBFC certificate was clarified as belonging to the first film’s TV premiere, not the sequel.
