With just weeks to go for Dhurandhar: The Revenge to hit theatres, the first strong word-of-mouth is coming straight from inside the home team. On February 28, 2026, Yami Gautam Dhar revealed she has already watched the film, and her reaction was not the guarded, polite kind. She described the sequel as “beyond extraordinary” and admitted it left her visibly emotional.
Yami Gautam Dhar’s First Reaction After Watching Dhurandhar: The Revenge
Speaking at the News18 Rising Bharat Summit 2026, Yami said, “I have already watched Dhurandhar 2. It is beyond extraordinary. I was really emotional.” The actor, who is married to director Aditya Dhar, also shared how deeply the viewing affected her in the moments that followed.
“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 I would tell Aditya when the flight landed,” she said, adding that she wanted to find the right words before talking to him, especially because she had to catch a flight soon after watching the film.
Yami also credited Aditya Dhar’s personal investment in the project and his relationship with audiences. “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 the audience will never forget,” she said.
What We Know About Dhurandhar: The Revenge So Far
Dhurandhar: The Revenge is the sequel to Dhurandhar and is scheduled for a theatrical release on March 19, 2026. Yami is set to appear in a cameo in the sequel.
The franchise is mounted as a high-stakes covert counter-terrorism story. It follows an undercover Indian intelligence agent operating inside Karachi’s criminal and political ecosystem to dismantle a terror network targeting India. The narrative is described as loosely inspired by multiple real-world geopolitical flashpoints in South Asia, including the Indian Airlines Flight 814 hijacking, the 2001 Indian Parliament attack, the 2008 Mumbai attacks, and developments linked to Operation Lyari.
At the box office, Dhurandhar: The Revenge is set for a direct clash with Yash’s Toxic: A Fairytale For Grown Ups, which is also releasing on March 19, 2026.
Yami Gautam Dhar’s Recent And Upcoming Work
Yami most recently headlined Article 370, and she also referenced being on that set when she first read the initial script of Dhurandhar. Recalling her reaction to the first film’s material, she said the early draft was just “40 pages” and still moved her to tears, adding, “It was just 40 pages, but my eyes welled up. I wasn’t able to say anything, and my reaction was enough to tell Aditya how I truly felt.”
She will next be seen in a cameo in Dhurandhar: The Revenge, arriving in theatres on March 19, 2026.
