March 2026 is set to witness intense competition at the Indian box office, with Dhurandhar 2, Toxic, and Peddi arriving in theatres within a short span. The trade and audiences look forward to these biggies.
Dhurandhar, the sensational blockbuster of Indian cinema, has rewritten several Hindi box office records. Its sequel has been officially announced for a March 19 release. Unlike the first part, Dhurandhar 2 is not limited to the Hindi market and is strongly targeting South Indian audiences as well.
Dhurandhar 2’s release date is set in stone
The makers have confirmed a pan-India release in all languages and are expecting strong anticipation from southern markets, especially after the film’s OTT success. Despite ongoing rumors about a possible postponement, the director once again confirmed today that the film will be released only on March 19.
Yash’s Toxic team is also committed to their March 19th release date
Toxic marks Yash’s first film after the KGF series, and naturally, the buzz around it is huge across all languages. The recently released teaser, whether it received positive or negative feedback, has created massive discussion online.
The makers are firm about their release plans and are ready to clash with Dhurandhar 2 on March 19. The film is not only a pan-India project but is also being released in international languages.
Peddi has already generated strong pan-India buzz through its promotional content. Both the teaser and the song Chikiri Chikiri received an excellent response across languages. It is a rooted mass entertainer directed by Buchi Babu, who comes from Sukumar’s school of filmmaking.
Can Peddi Stand Tall Against Toxic and Dhurandhar 2?
Trade circles are highly confident that the film has the potential to perform like Pushpa in pan-India markets. In a recent interview, Ram Charan confirmed March 27 as the release date, just one week after Dhurandhar 2 and Toxic.
All three films: Dhurandhar 2, Toxic, and Peddi are pan-Indian projects that depend on strong collections from multiple language markets. It now remains to be seen whether all three films stick to their planned release dates and face a direct box office clash.
