# CBFC clears Dhurandhar 2 TV version after 45-50 cuts 2026-09-30T09:38:11+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets The Central Board of Film Certification has cleared the television version of ‘Dhurandhar - The Revenge’ with a U/A 16+ certificate after the makers made 45 to 50 cuts. The edits, mostly to violent and gory scenes, were ordered by the board on 24 September, according to Bollywood Hungama. The approved version runs 219 minutes and 6 seconds, about 10 minutes shorter than the theatrical cut of 229.6 minutes. The film, originally rated ‘A’ in theatres, is set for its world television premiere on 18 October at 7 pm on Star Gold. Directed by Aditya Dhar, it stars Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, R Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal and Sara Arjun. Times Now reports the film has collected Rs 18.13 crore worldwide and Rs 1149.30 crore net in India. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both outlets report the same facts: the CBFC cleared the U/A 16+ version on 24 September after 45-50 cuts, and the TV cut is about 10 minutes shorter. Times of India leads with the certification and the cuts, while Times Now adds the box office figures, including Rs 1149.30 crore net in India, and names the next film, Pralay. Neither outlet questions the cuts or the CBFC's process, and both rely on the same Bollywood Hungama source, so the coverage is uniform straight reporting. The premiere on 18 October on Star Gold is the concrete next step. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - timesofindia.indiatimes.com (neutral report) Leads with CBFC certification and cut details - timesnownews.com (neutral report) Adds box office figures and next film This brief was synthesised by AI from the 2 sources linked above, so one read covers every framing they carry.
