After the huge box office success, Dhurandhar 2 The Revenge is now in the news for its growing censorship debate. The film, directed by Aditya Dhar, has received praise from audiences. However, actor Deepak Tijori has now raised questions about how the film was edited before release.

The spy thriller hit theatres on March 19, 2026, and quickly became a big success. It crossed the Rs 1000-crore mark worldwide within its first week. But now, the focus has shifted to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and its decision to partially mute abusive words in the film.

Deepak Tijori Mocks CBFC Over Dhurandhar 2 The Revenge Censorship

Actor-filmmaker Deepak Tijori shared his views on Instagram and said he does not understand the logic behind muting only parts of abusive words. According to him, some words are fully muted while others are only partly edited, which feels inconsistent.

He explained that he might be missing something, but the decision does not make sense to him. The actor questioned why only half the abuses are muted while others are left unchanged. He also said that if the film is already certified ‘A’, which means it is meant only for adults, then such selective muting becomes confusing.

The actor further pointed out a bigger concern. He said that the same film usually releases on OTT platforms within a few months without any cuts. In that case, the full version (including all the abuses) becomes easily accessible at home, even to kids and younger viewers.

He questioned the purpose of muting content in theatres for adults when the same content is later available online without restrictions. He suggested that the approach may not be practical and that the logic behind it is hard to understand.

The controversy began after the CBFC approved Dhurandhar 2 The Revenge with an ‘A’ certificate but asked for 21 changes. These included reducing some violent scenes and muting abusive words. However, the way the muting was done has raised concerns.

Viewers noticed that some words were fully muted while others were only partially cut. This uneven editing has become a major talking point. Reports also suggest that the Indian version of the film is about six minutes shorter than the original. On the other hand, the overseas version is said to be mostly uncut.

The key question many are asking is, if a film is meant only for adults, why censor it partially? The issue becomes even more relevant when the same film later releases on OTT platforms without such edits.
