Dhurandhar Part 2 Rewrites the Rules of Bollywood Franchises

In an industry where sequels typically arrive years later—diluted, disconnected, and chasing the ghost of the original—B62 Studios did something radical. We shot Dhurandhar Part 1 and Part 2 back-to-back. As one continuous production. Same cast, same crew, same creative momentum. Then we split it for release. It's the first time a big-budget, mainstream Hindi film has attempted this at scale. And if it works the way we believe it will, it could reshape how Bollywood thinks about franchises entirely.

The Global Blueprint We're Following

This isn't uncharted territory worldwide. Tarantino shot Kill Bill as one film, then split it into Volume 1 and Volume 2. Pirates of the Caribbean locked in cast and crew for back-to-back shoots. The Matrix sequels embraced parallel production to preserve creative coherence. Bollywood? We've barely touched this model. Gangs of Wasseypur came closest—a five-hour film split into two parts—but that was mid-budget, gritty, more cult than commercial blockbuster. Dhurandhar is different. This is Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal—major stars, major budget, major theatrical ambition. That's not indie-daring. That's studio-scale conviction.

Why We Made This Call

Logistical efficiency. Shooting together compresses schedules, locks in locations, keeps cast availability intact. The story flows unbroken. No energy lost waiting years between parts. Narrative integrity. Part 2 isn't riding on Part 1's success—it already exists. This wasn't "if the first works, we'll greenlight the second." We committed to the complete story from day one. That's faith in the material and the audience. Setting industrial precedent. B62 Studios, in association with Jio Studios and producers Jyoti Deshpande and Lokesh Dhar, is proving the back-to-back model works in India. Not as theory. As practice.

The Risk We Knew We Were Taking

Shooting two films simultaneously means doubling down on budget, resources, and exposure. If Part 1 failed, Part 2 still exists—already made, already expensive. But that's exactly the point. This isn't cautious filmmaking. It's a bet that audiences respond to ambition, that they'll trust a studio willing to commit fully before testing the waters. B62 Studios didn't hedge. We went all in.

What This Could Mean for Hindi Cinema

If Dhurandhar succeeds—both parts—it establishes a new template. One where Hindi franchises can think like global blockbusters: shoot smarter, plan bigger, maintain creative coherence across installments. It signals to the industry that back-to-back production isn't just viable in India—it's potentially more lucrative and creatively sound than the old model of waiting years between sequels. This could be the birth of a new franchise culture in Bollywood. One built on conviction rather than caution.

Beyond the Action and Stars

Yes, Dhurandhar delivers spectacle, ensemble performances, and box office numbers. So far, the film has earned Rs.XX. But the real story is what we're proving about Indian production capability. B62 Studios created a blueprint. We showed that Hindi cinema can adopt global production strategies without losing its identity. That ambition and execution can coexist. That you can think bigger and actually pull it off. Dhurandhar Part 2 isn't just another sequel. It's evidence that Indian blockbuster filmmaking is evolving—and studios like ours are willing to lead that evolution.
