Dhurandhar ending explained: Ranveer Singh’s Hamza announces his ‘revenge’ mission in post-credit scene

Spoilers ahead

Dhurandhar Part 1 ending explained

For most of its runtime, Aditya Dhar draws the audience deep into the violent gang wars and political nexus of Lyari, Pakistan, through the eyes of protagonist Hamza (Ranveer Singh). In the climax, Hamza completes the first phase of his mission, eliminating the syndicate kingpin Rehman Dakait (Akshaye Khanna). He executes the plan with the help of SP Chaudhary Aslam (Sanjay Dutt) and local politician Jameel Jamali (Rakesh Bedi).

The sweeping narrative is structured in chapters, with the final chapter titled Et Tu Brutus, a direct nod to William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. The title symbolises betrayal by someone closest, mirroring Hamza’s betrayal of Rehman when he kills him. In the final moments, this betrayal haunts Hamza: in a hospital corridor, he hallucinates Rehman staring back at him from a blood-soaked stretcher. Later, he returns home, collapses in Yaalina’s (Sara Arjun) arms, and begs her for food.

Akshaye Khanna’s character dies at the end of Part 1.

The story then cuts to a flashback set in 2002, where Ajay Sanyal (R Madhavan) formulates a covert mission. Ranveer’s character’s real name, Jaskirat, is revealed here. He is assigned a singular objective by Ajay: to infiltrate Pakistan’s most dangerous terror networks and extract intelligence from within. This covert operation is termed ‘Dhurandhar’. Simultaneously, Ajay briefs a high-level political panel, concluding with the statement that the mission has “only just begun.”

In the dead of night, Hamza wakes up and opens a secret diary handed to him by another Indian operative. He wipes off Rehman’s name, signaling the end of that chapter, and turns the page, revealing more names, including ISI’s Major Iqbal (Arjun Rampal). A rapid-fire montage follows: flashes of a young Jaskirat, the violence inflicted on his family. We then also see Hamza’s eventual rise in Lyari’s underworld, and Karachi’s people choosing him as their new leader with Jameel’s support. In the midst of this montage, we see a glimpse of a brutal hand-to-hand battle between Arjun Rampal’s Iqbal and Ranveer Singh’s Hamza, clearly setting up the conflict for Part 2.

Dhurandhar Part 2 release date

The film ends with the title card: “Dhurandhar to be continued”, followed by the word “Revenge” and a release date, March 19, 2026. The last line we hear is Ranveer saying: “Yeh naya Hindustan hai, ye ghar mein ghusega bhi aur marega bhi.” (This is the new India, it will enter your home if it has to, and it will strike you down as well). It is the same dialogue Aditya Dhar famously used in his debut feature Uri: The Surgical Strike.

Interestingly, Dhurandhar 2 is currently set to clash with Yash’s Toxic, the Kannada superstar’s first film since the KGF series, and Ajay Devgn’s Dhamaal 4, both of which have locked the same date. With the release falling on the long Eid weekend, the box office could see an intense battle for screens unless one of the films changes its plans.

So do yourself a favour and get to the cinema hall now!” Not stopping there, she also shared snapshots from their outing on Instagram with the caption, “Date Night at the Movies! #Dhurandhar,” tagging Ranveer in the post. Ranveer quickly reacted in the comments with a cheeky one-liner: “Jaan hi lele” (Just take my life).
