Dhurandhar
As Aditya Dhar's espionage thriller continues to run in select theatres, the film has now made its way onto OTT. Dhurandhar's OTT release comes eight weeks after its release on December 5, 2025, amid much rumour and speculation. However, the OTT version has seemingly upset fans
After a successful run in theatres, Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar arrived on Netflix on January 30. Netflix India has confirmed the same by opening a reminder option for the audience. Announcing the same, the streaming platform wrote on social media, "DHURANDHAR Watch the Epic Saga unfold. Now out on Netflix in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu"
However, it is uncertain if the film will be released on OTT in the six Gulf countries where its theatrical release was banned.
Soon after the film began streaming during wee hours on Friday, social media was flooded with complaints from viewers. Fans accused the platform of muting dialogues, censoring abusive language and trimming a total of 10 minutes from the film. Several users questioned the logic of censoring an A-rated adult film on an over-18 platform.
One user on social media expressed their disappointment, saying, "You certify the film as A but you have muted/censored words! Like are we bunch of 5y/o or what? Everyone in this app is over 18, there's no meaning in watching a film with lots of cuts and censoring. You're just stealing the natural raw vibe from it." Another added, "Dhurandhar on Netflix with muted dialogues + censored abuses. If OTT isn't giving us the uncut version, who is?"
Notably, the muted cuss words and other edited scenes were not the only things that miffed fans. Many even noted that the film's runtime was significantly shorter. Interestingly, Dhurandhar was the longest Hindi film in recent years. Viewers claimed that the OTT version had been trimmed by nearly 10 minutes. Dhurandhar's theatrical runtime was approximately 3 hours and 34 minutes, while the digital version clocked at around 3 hours and 25 minutes.
The makers are yet to clarify the reasons for the censored version on OTT.
