After the blockbuster and unprecedented success of Dhurandhar, all eyes are on its sequel Dhurandhar: Revenge. There were talks of the epic spy thriller saga being divided into two parts before the release of the first installment on December 5. All speculation was rested when the title of the sequel was revealed in the post-credits scene. The makers also confirmed that part 2 will arrive on March 19 in multiple languages, coinciding with the Eid holiday.

However, Dhurandhar 2 is not the only biggie that is eyeing Eid release this year. While Battle Of Galwan and Dhamaal 4 did not book Eid slot due to Dhurandhar 2, Yash starrer Toxic - A Fairytale For Grown-Ups is sticking to its previously announced release of March 19, effectively making it a two-way clash at the box office.
