Ranveer Singh’s ‘Dhurandhar’ was not only the biggest blockbuster of 2025 but also the biggest hit of all time in Hindi. The sequel is keenly anticipated and is likely to smash more records than the previous film
Yash’s Toxic- A Fairy Tale For Grown-ups and Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar 2 were all set to clash at the box-office on March 19 on the occasion of EID. It was a clash for the ages. It could be the Lagaan and Gadar of 2026. But destiny had other plans and so did the team of the pan-India phenomenon.
The makers of the
_KGF_ star announced they were now releasing the film on June 4 this year and the reason was the current climate in the Middle East. Iran and Israel are in the middle of war which has affected the middle eastern regions too.
What the statement read
_Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups_ is a film we conceptualized with the vision to create cinema for a global audience. Filmed in Kannada and English, it is built with the conviction to connect with viewers both at home and across the world.
After years of dedicated labour, we were excited to share our film with you all on the 19th of March. However, the current uncertainty, especially in the Middle East, has created a situation that impacts our goal to reach and connect with the widest possible audience.
Therefore, in the interest of our partners and our audience, we have made the difficult but carefully considered decision to reschedule our release.
We thank you for your understanding and patience and look forward to your continued love and support.
_Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups_ will now be released in cinemas across the globe in English and Indian languages on 4th June 2026.
See you at the movies.
Is the
Dhurandhar 2 wave a reason too?
Ranveer Singh’s ‘Dhurandhar’ was not only the biggest blockbuster of 2025 but also the biggest hit of all time in Hindi. The sequel is keenly anticipated and is likely to smash more records than the previous film directed by Aditya Dhar.
Speaking on a podcast with Sonia Shenoy, R Madhavan shared how viewers from Dubai had earlier flown to India to watch the first
_Dhurandhar_ after it was banned in their region, and are now planning similar trips for the sequel.
He added that fans are now scheduling business meetings around the film’s release. “Now they are planning their business meetings around March 19 so that they can attend the meeting and watch
_Dhurandhar 2_ because it’s not releasing in Dubai. For them, it would be so easy to just watch it on IPTV, but they want the theatre experience,” the actor explained.
Netizens react
One wrote- “
Not really Mass audience is actually loving it….
Remember Dhurandhar had such crazy hype on Reddit but ordinary opening numbers
It’s mass audience who decides the fate of movie.”
A second said, “Toxic seems to be Animal on meth. Animal itself was on crack, so this is a new low.”
A third commented- “I won’t lie after those entire humping and groaning rapid cuts , i half expected animal’s ranvijay to step out of the car cause this whole killing-after-sex sequence looked like something that would give Vanga a raging hard-on.”
