Dhurandhar 2 is already one of 2026’s most anticipated films. The teaser created buzz. The trailer amplified it. And now, a powerful early reaction has made the excitement even stronger.
At the News18 Rising Bharat Summit 2026, Yami Gautam shared her honest reaction after watching the Ranveer Singh-starrer sequel. And her words have only added to the growing anticipation around the film.
The sequel, officially titled Dhurandhar: The Revenge, is directed by Aditya Dhar and stars Ranveer Singh in the lead. Here’s what Yami had to say — in her own words.
Yami Gautam Reviews Dhurandhar 2
Yami confirmed that she has already watched the film. And her reaction was deeply emotional. She said,
“I have already watched Dhurandhar 2. It is beyond extraordinary. I was really emotional. I had to catch a flight that day so I couldn’t say anything to Aditya but later, I couldn’t do anything. I had to read a script but I couldn’t, I had to watch something but I couldn’t. I was just watching the beautiful sunset outside and wondering what will I tell Aditya when the flight lands. I wanted to justify my feelings on the film and what I experienced. Aditya loves his audience and the country and he has given his life’s effort to make this film. Dhurandhar 2 will be an experience that audience will never forget.”
Her words were heartfelt. The audience present at the summit responded with smiles and cheers. It was not just praise. It was personal.
A Sequel Mounted On A Bigger Scale
The first film, Dhurandhar, was released on December 5, 2025. It emerged as one of the biggest espionage dramas in recent years. Now, Dhurandhar: The Revenge promises to take that universe forward. The sequel is set to release in theatres on March 19, 2026. It will arrive in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam — clearly aiming for a pan-India impact.
From action to emotional drama, the scale has reportedly expanded. And Yami’s reaction suggests that the storytelling may be even more intense than the first installment.
Yami Gautam Talks About Aditya Dhar’s Passion
Reflecting on Aditya Dhar’s journey as a filmmaker, Yami spoke with pride. She said,
“My husband has made some incredible films like Uri, etc. Most recently was Dhurandhar of course. He has that kind of passion to make a film like Dhurandhar otherwise, it wouldn’t have been possible.”
Aditya Dhar previously directed Uri: The Surgical Strike, a film that struck a powerful chord with audiences across India. According to Yami, that same passion has been poured into Dhurandhar 2.
She has consistently spoken about the honesty and belief behind the film’s making. And she made it clear that this project is extremely close to Aditya’s heart.
Yami’s Response About Her Role In Dhurandhar 2
When asked whether any of her own films were releasing on the same day as Dhurandhar 2, Yami Gautam responded with restraint and humour. She said,
“Dekhiye, Dhurandhar se related koi bhi main information Aditya hi denge,”
Then she added with a laugh,
“Like everyone else, I also have an important appointment that day in the cinema hall so I’ll meet you all there.”
Her response drew laughter from the audience. Clear. Confident. And focused. Yami also looked back at the journey of the first film. She said,
“I always had that belief. I had said it earlier also that Dhurandhar will be a film that will make every Indian proud. I was shooting for Article 370 when I first read the script of Dhurandhar. It was just 40 pages but my eyes watered. I was not able to say anything and my reaction was enough to tell Aditya how I really felt. I know how hard he worked to make this film – with honesty and belief.”
Her words reflect something deeper than routine promotion. She mentioned that she was shooting for Article 370 when she first read the script. Even at just 40 pages, the story moved her emotionally. It clearly left a strong first impression.
A Box Office Clash Ahead
Despite the anticipation, Dhurandhar 2 will not enjoy a clear solo run at the box office. The film is set to clash with Toxic: A Fairytale for Grownups, headlined by Yash and directed by Geetu Mohandas.
The clash could make things interesting commercially. But given the franchise value and mounting buzz, industry insiders are confident that Dhurandhar: The Revenge will draw massive footfall.
Conclusion
Yami Gautam’s review has added a powerful emotional layer to the growing hype around Dhurandhar 2. Calling the film “beyond extraordinary” is not a small compliment. Especially when it comes from someone who has seen the effort behind the scenes.
With Ranveer Singh leading the charge, Aditya Dhar directing, and a grand Eid release on March 19, 2026, expectations are sky-high. Will the film live up to the promise? If Yami’s reaction is anything to go by, audiences are in for an unforgettable cinematic experience.
