Fans Slam Censorship in ‘Dhurandhar’ OTT Version 🔥
Despite being certified ‘A’ (Adults Only), fans were shocked to discover that Dhurandhar’s OTT release was censored. Soon after the film began streaming, social media was flooded with angry reactions, accusing Netflix of:
- 🔇 Muting dialogues
- 🤬 Censoring abusive language
- ✂️ Cutting nearly 10 minutes of footage
Many viewers said they were expecting a fully uncensored version after its theatrical run, especially since the film is streaming on an 18+ platform.
“What’s the Point of OTT If It’s Still Censored?” Fans Ask 🤔
Fuming over the edits, fans questioned the logic of censoring an adult-rated film on OTT. One user wrote,
“You certify the film as A but mute words? Are we 5-year-olds? OTT is for adults—censoring ruins the raw vibe.”

“#Dhurandhar on Netflix with muted dialogues + censored abuses. If OTT won’t give us the uncut version, who will?”
Several fans also drew comparisons with other adult-rated films, stating,
“Censoring an A-rated film is a joke when Animal and Kabir Singh streamed with no cuts.”
Others expressed disappointment, saying their “mood was completely off” after realizing the version wasn’t uncensored, while some even asked online if there was “any jugaad for the uncut version.” 😤
