‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’, starring Ranveer Singh in the lead, has been the subject of widespread discussion since its paid previews took over screens on March 18, followed by its worldwide theatrical release on March 19. While the Hindi film hit most theatres without any major glitches, the regional dubbed versions hit roadblocks. However, now with the film playing out on the big screens, it has been noted that the Tamil and Telugu versions of the Aditya Dhar directorial appear to have a longer runtime in its Tamil and Telugu versions. As per the viral screenshots of the film’s certification from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), the movie’s regional versions were reportedly cleared without any cuts.
