The Grahan Effect: Why Dhurandhar: The Revenge’s Trailer is Delayed Beyond March 3
On March 1, Bollywood Hungama announced the much-anticipated trailer for “Dhurandhar: The Revenge” was set to debut digitally on March 3. However, just a day later, Jio Studios revealed that the release would be postponed. Sources indicate that the decision was influenced by the timing of a lunar eclipse, which is traditionally viewed as an inauspicious moment for new beginnings, prompting the filmmakers to reconsider their launch plans.
Change in Trailer Release Plans
Initially, the creators of “Dhurandhar: The Revenge” were excited to unveil the trailer on March 3. However, they were informed that this date coincides with a Chandra Grahan, or lunar eclipse, which is considered an inauspicious time for launching new projects. The eclipse is expected to occur from 9:39 AM to 6:46 PM, and since trailers are typically released around noon, the timing fell within this period. As a result, the team decided to delay the trailer’s release to avoid any negative connotations associated with the timing.
This change follows a previous announcement made in February 2026, where it was reported that the trailer would be launched at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre in Mumbai on March 5. That plan was later altered to a digital release on March 3, but now it seems the trailer may be unveiled on March 5 or March 6 without a formal event. Fans are left in suspense regarding the exact new release date.
Star-Studded Cast and Plot
“Dhurandhar: The Revenge” features a notable ensemble cast, including Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sara Arjun, and Rakesh Bedi. The first installment of the series depicted the thrilling journey of an Indian spy who infiltrates Pakistan’s criminal underworld and political landscape, creating chaos in the process. The sequel promises to build on this gripping narrative, further engaging audiences with its action-packed storyline.
The anticipation surrounding the film is palpable, especially with its star-studded cast, which has generated significant buzz in the industry. Fans are eager to see how the sequel will expand on the original’s themes and character arcs, making it one of the most awaited releases in the coming months.
Box Office Competition
“Dhurandhar: The Revenge” is set to face stiff competition at the box office upon its release. It will clash with “Toxic: A Fairy Tale For Grown-Ups,” directed by Geetu Mohandas. This film marks the return of Yash, known for his role in the “KGF” series, and features a talented cast that includes Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, Huma Qureshi, and Akshay Oberoi. The trailer for “Toxic” is scheduled to be unveiled on March 8 at a grand event in Bengaluru, adding to the excitement surrounding both films.
As the release dates approach, industry insiders and fans alike are keenly watching how these two films will perform against each other, given their contrasting themes and star power. The competition is expected to heighten interest in both projects, making for an exciting cinematic showdown.
Looking Ahead
As the film industry gears up for the release of “Dhurandhar: The Revenge,” fans are left eagerly awaiting further announcements regarding the trailer and the film’s eventual launch. The decision to postpone the trailer release reflects the filmmakers’ respect for cultural beliefs while maintaining the excitement surrounding the project. With a strong cast and an engaging storyline, “Dhurandhar: The Revenge” is poised to make a significant impact upon its release, regardless of the slight delay in its promotional activities.
