Preview Shows Cancelled Across Tamil & Telugu Theatres
Hours before Dhurandhar: The Revenge (Part 2) was set to run paid preview screenings in South India, theatres cancelled scheduled shows in Tamil Nadu and Telugu‑speaking regions. Multiple reports confirm that the 5 PM preview slots were pulled due to delayed content delivery and technical issues, leaving fans disappointed just hours before the film’s full rollout.
According to Broadway Cinemas and local exhibitors, the Tamil and Telugu language versions were not available on time, forcing cancellations. The Hindi version, however, is set to proceed as scheduled, and refunds for the affected previews are being issued.
Frustration Spills Over on Social Media
Netizens voiced frustration and confusion online after booking tickets well in advance, with many expressing outrage on platforms like X and Reddit when shows were scrapped at the eleventh hour. Some audiences wrote to the film’s production team seeking answers, while others asked exhibitors for clarity about refunds and future screening plans.
Rumors spread rapidly, with some blaming other big film releases for the disruption — though trade sources clarified that competition from other films was not the cause of the cancellations.
Advance Booking Momentum Now At Risk
The sudden cancellations risk denting the strong advance booking numbers Dhurandhar 2 had amassed nationwide ahead of its theatrical release on March 19, 2026. Fans in South India had shown high enthusiasm for the dubbed versions, part of the film’s pan‑India strategy, increasing stakes for a smooth launch day.
With issues now public, audiences are watching closely to see if dubbed screenings resume on time for Friday’s release, or if further adjustments will be necessary.
