The global anticipation surrounding Dhurandhar: The Revenge has taken a new turn with Netflix announcing its international release under the title Raw and Undekha. Scheduled to premiere on 15 May 2026, the film will be available across international markets, excluding India, where theatrical and local streaming rights remain separate.
Runtime and Technical Specs
The film comes with an epic runtime of 3 hours and 52 minutes, making it one of the longest mainstream Indian films to stream globally. Netflix has confirmed that the movie will be available in 4K resolution with Dolby 5.1 audio, ensuring a cinematic experience for viewers at home. However, there is no trace of HDR, Dolby Vision, or Atmos sound in the current specifications, which has sparked discussions among cinephiles who expected a more advanced format for such a high-profile release.
Why the Title Change?
The rebranding to Raw and Undekha for international audiences reflects Netflix’s strategy of positioning the film as a gritty, unfiltered spectacle. The title emphasizes the rawness of its narrative and promises unseen dimensions of the story, catering to global viewers who may not be familiar with the original Dhurandhar franchise.
Audience Expectations
Given the record-breaking success of the first Dhurandhar film, expectations are sky-high. Fans are eager to see how the sequel expands on its universe, with more intense action sequences, layered storytelling, and powerful performances. Jackie Shroff’s surprising look in the film has already become a talking point, adding to the intrigue.
A Landmark Streaming Event
With its international rollout, Raw and Undekha is poised to be a landmark in Indian cinema’s global journey. While the absence of HDR and Atmos may disappoint some, the sheer scale of the film and its availability in 4K Dolby 5.1 ensures that audiences worldwide will witness a spectacle unlike any other.
