Streaming rights

As per reports, the film's streaming rights have been sold to OTT giant – Netflix at a whopping Rs 130 crore. "Netflix has paid Rs. 130 crores for the streaming rights of Dhurandhar. This includes both parts. Hence, one can say that the rights were sold for around Rs. 65 crores each for Dhurandhar Part 1 and Part 2," a Bollywood Hungama report stated.

"Nevertheless, this is a huge figure in today's times when the OTT prices have crashed. Also, it is a significant shot-in-the-arm for Ranveer Singh. This is his biggest OTT deal yet, if we count the amount given to both parts of Dhurandhar," it further added.

From Ranveer Singh, R Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal to Sanjay Dutt, Sara Arjun, Gaurav Gera and Saumya Tandon; each and every cast member has been appreciated by the audience for their performance.
