Ranveer Singh plays Hamza ali Mazari, a covert spy who infiltrates Rehman Dakait’s criminal network by concealing his identity.
The story draws inspiration from Operation Lyari, blending espionage, political tension, and high-risk missions.
Hamza’s marriage to Yalina (Sara Arjun), daughter of politician Jameel Jamali, adds emotional depth and personal conflict to the narrative.

Made on a massive ₹275-crore budget with a 214-minute runtime, Dhurandhar is among India’s longest films.
Although critics delivered mixed reviews, audiences praised its action sequences, emotional storytelling, and Ranveer Singh’s powerful performance.
The film has surpassed the domestic lifetime collection of salman Khan’s Sikandar and is expected to cross ₹150 crore in India.
Worldwide earnings may reach ₹250 crore by the second weekend.
A sequel is scheduled for march 19, 2026, promising larger action set-pieces, deeper espionage conflicts, and new revelations in Hamza ali Mazari’s journey.
