"Wtf!!! I just got a call... the show is cancelled for Dhurandhar IMAX because the makers did not send the print on time. - X User"

Chennai, March 18

Fans of Ranveer Singh's 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge' faced disappointment on Wednesday as paid preview shows in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana were reportedly cancelled just hours before their scheduled start, though no official confirmation has been issued by the makers.

AGS Cinemas in Chennai shared the update on X, stating, "We regret to inform that the Tamil paid previews of Dhurandhar: The Revenge scheduled for today have been cancelled. Refunds will be initiated shortly. Thank you for your patience."

Broadway Cinemas in Coimbatore, however, indicated that Hindi screenings were still on track, posting on X, "Dhurandhar: The Revenge (Hindi) is ready for showtime. Subtitles awaited. Second half downloading. Please bear with us. We are totally locked in to get you a great #Dhurandhar2 experience!"

Reports suggest that the cancellations are primarily affecting regional dubbed versions and select international screenings where the required print files failed to arrive in time.

The much-anticipated paid previews faced widespread disruption across India, with major chaos reported in Mumbai as well.

Several netizens were quick to express shock over the ordeal they faced.

One user on X wrote, "Wtf!!! I just got a call from someone who said they are from PVR Vega City. He said the show is cancelled for Dhurandhar IMAX because the makers did not send the print on time. This is unreal. Why release without sending prints? #dhurandhar"

Another user asked, "What about district app booking?", while another enquired, "What about Kannada?"

'Dhurandhar: The Revenge' is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on March 19. The film will open during the festive window of Eid, Gudi Padwa, and Ugadi, positioning it for a major box-office debut. In line with its pan-India ambitions, the spy action film will release in multiple languages, including Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam.

'Dhurandhar' was released in theatres on December 5 last year and went on to become the highest-grossing film of 2025. The film has since achieved cult status and rewritten box-office history, surpassing 'Pushpa 2: The Rule' to emerge as the highest-grossing Hindi film of all time.

It's the regional audiences who always suffer. First day first show is a big deal for us in Andhra. They promote it as a pan-India film but can't manage to send prints on time? Not a good look.

Chaos in Mumbai too! My brother was at the theatre and they told him at the last minute. People had taken half-day leaves from work. The lack of official communication is the worst part. Just a tweet from a cinema?

Respectfully, the production house needs to get its act together. Dhurandhar was a massive hit, so they have the resources. To cancel paid previews hours before, especially during a festive weekend, shows poor planning. Fans deserve better.

At least Broadway in Coimbatore is trying for the Hindi show! "Subtitles awaited, second half downloading" – that's the spirit! 🤣 Hope they manage. Will watch tomorrow for sure. Jai Maharashtra! 🚀

What about the Kannada version? No update at all. They release in 5 languages but only communicate about 2? This is why South Indian fans feel sidelined sometimes. Hope it's sorted by tomorrow's release.
