Dhurandhar: The Revenge OTT Version Sparks Debate As Fans Spot Major Changes In Ranveer Singh’s ‘Raw And Undekha’ Cut

After a successful theatrical run, Dhurandhar: The Revenge has finally made its OTT debut internationally — and fans are already noticing major differences between the streaming version and the version released in Indian cinemas.

The action thriller, starring Ranveer Singh, premiered on Netflix for audiences in the US and Canada with what viewers are calling a more “raw” and “uncensored” cut of the film.

What happened

• Dhurandhar: The Revenge released internationally on Netflix nearly eight weeks after its theatrical debut.
• Fans quickly began comparing the OTT version with the censored theatrical release shown in India.
• Social media users claimed several violent sequences were longer and more graphic in the streaming cut.
• The film reportedly includes revised background music, altered text placement and modified end-credit sequences.

Scenes fans say were changed

• The much-discussed hammer scene reportedly appears more extended in the OTT version.
• Fans also pointed out changes in Hamza’s reaction scenes.
• A brutal sequence involving actor Danish Pandor playing football with a severed head allegedly appears in a more graphic form online.
• Some viewers claimed a post-credit scene featuring Omar was removed from the streaming version.

Why fans are reacting strongly

Several viewers criticised the theatrical censorship handled by the CBFC, saying the OTT version delivers the film’s intended darker tone.

Social media reactions included:

• “Feels like they unlocked the darker side of the film now.”
• “CBFC ruined an A-rated film’s peak experience.”
• “The uncensored version truly showed Uzair’s insanity.”

Many fans also praised the improved editing and soundtrack adjustments in the OTT cut.

Why it matters

• The discussion has reignited debates around censorship of A-rated films in India.
• OTT platforms are increasingly becoming spaces where filmmakers release less restricted versions of movies.
• The film’s streaming success could influence future Bollywood action releases and alternate OTT cuts.

Box office success

Directed by Aditya Dhar, the film also stars:

• Sanjay Dutt
• R. Madhavan
• Arjun Rampal
• Rakesh Bedi
• Gaurav Gera
• Sara Arjun

The franchise has reportedly crossed ₹3000 crore worldwide, becoming one of the biggest Hindi film successes of the year.

What to watch next

Indian audiences are now waiting for confirmation regarding the film’s domestic OTT release. Fans are also watching closely to see whether future Bollywood blockbusters begin offering separate theatrical and uncensored streaming cuts.
