Is Netflix version of Dhurandhar different from theatrical cut? Here’s what we all know
“It is identical because the theatrical / CBFC-approved version. As with all theatrical movies, the three-minute runtime difference is attributable to elements similar to interval plates or in-theatre ad requirements that don’t carry over to digital platforms. That is business as usual and standard practice when movies transition from cinemas to streaming,” the source said.
The statement comes after online chatter questioned whether scenes from Dhurandhar had been trimmed or censored for its OTT release. In response to the clarification, the perceived runtime variation shouldn’t be the results of creative edits or content removal, but a technical adjustment that typically occurs when movies move from theatrical exhibition to digital platforms.
In cinemas, movies often include interval cards, censor slates, or theatre-specific placeholders which are redundant on OTT platforms. These elements are removed throughout the digital master preparation, resulting in minor runtime differences without impacting the narrative or approved cut of the film.
The source further emphasised that such adjustments are routine across theatrical-to-digital releases and shouldn’t be misconstrued as post-release edits. The clarification goals to place to rest concerns concerning the integrity of the film’s streaming version.
Dhurandhar recently premiered on Netflix following its theatrical run, drawing attention not just for its content but additionally for discussions around its runtime. With this clarification, the source has reiterated that viewers on streaming platforms are watching the identical CBFC-cleared version that was screened in theatres.
