Dhurandhar on Netflix: Why is it Shorter and Censored? Makers Respond to Fan Outcry
- •Fans are disappointed with the Netflix release of Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar, alleging censorship and a shorter runtime despite an 'A' certificate.
- •Viewers claim dialogues are muted, foul language censored, and nearly 10 minutes trimmed from the original theatrical cut.
- •Pinkvilla reported that Aditya Dhar and the makers submitted an uncensored version fully compliant with Netflix's mandates.
- •The runtime difference (3 hours 25 minutes on Netflix vs. 3 hours 34 minutes original) is attributed to the removal of interval plates and in-theatre ad requirements, a standard practice for streaming releases.
- •Some reports suggest the Netflix version is the revised theatrical cut from January 1, 2026, which had two words muted and a dialogue changed as per I&B Ministry directives.
Why It Matters: Dhurandhar's shorter Netflix version is due to standard streaming practices and a revised theatrical cut.
