The Dhurandhar trailer just dropped… and honestly, I haven’t been this shocked by a Hindi film trailer since Animal in 2023.
But it’s not just the violence.
It’s the scale, the world-building, the casting, and the insane mystery behind who these characters are based on — from the Lyari Gang War in Karachi to India’s most secretive spy operations.
So instead of doing a simple breakdown, I’m doing something that fits this trailer better —
9 questions this trailer made me ask.
From Akshaye Khanna’s terrifying “Apex Predator”
to Arjun Rampal’s possible Major Iqbal–Ilyas Kashmiri fusion,
to Ranveer Singh going full silent-eagle mode…
this trailer is hiding way more than it’s showing.
Is this the most violent Hindi trailer ever?
Is this the most ambitious Bollywood film in years?
Is Dhurandhar rewriting history like Inglourious Basterds?
Why two parts?
And what is India’s role in this world?
If you’re interested in Hindi cinema, spy thrillers, Bollywood trailers, real-life gang wars, or just want to know why everyone is talking about this film — this video is for you.
