Netizens React To Dhurandhar Raw and Undekha

When Netflix and JioHotstar announced ‘Raw & Undekha’ versions of Dhurandhar, fans expected something substantially different from the theatrical and existing OTT cuts—perhaps deleted scenes, extended action sequences, or a grittier, uncensored edit. Instead, viewers who streamed the film say the version offers almost nothing new apart from unmuted abuses.

After watching the film, many viewers were left underwhelmed. Fans online claim the so-called ‘Raw & Undekha’ version is identical to the existing OTT cut, with the only noticeable difference being that the abuses are now unmuted. The runtime on both platforms remains the same as the original streaming version, 3 hours and 25 minutes, leading many to ask: what exactly is ‘undekha’ here?

Netizens React To Dhurandhar Raw and Undekha

Several users on social media expressed disappointment after watching the film. One user wrote, “#Dhurandhar Part 1 – RAW & UNCENSORED is now streaming on Netflix India – 205 minutes runtime..no extra scenes, but dialogues are unmuted now.”

Another user posted,“#Dhurandhar Part 1 #RawAndUndekha is just abuses being Uncensored. Not that anyone was expecting, but no new Extra scenes are added. Thanks to Vasan for the info.”

Another user wrote, “Netflix and JioHotstar promised a ‘Raw & Undekha’ Dhurandhar. Same runtime. No deleted scenes. Just unmuted abuses. So what exactly is ‘Undekha’ here? 👀 #Dhurandhar #RawAndUndekha #Netflix #JioHotstar #RanveerSingh”

Apart from the content itself, many viewers also complained about their streaming experience on JioHotstar. One user wrote, “These many ads on OTT?? @JioHotstar sharm kar lo isse achha to TV experience hai. Aur upar se ghatiya user interface hai. #Dhurandhar”

Another user compared the viewing experience on both platforms and wrote: “You have two choices on how to experience #Dhurandhar Choice 1: Crap user-interface, ads after every few minutes (unless you are on a premium plan), ads are longer than usual, and as many as 19 ads in a single movie. At some point, you’d forget you are watching a movie or ads. Choice 2: Play a movie, no matter if your plan is 720p, 1080p or 4K plan, uninterrupted, ad-free experience. Just you and your pristine movie experience. The second choice is, of course, Netflix. There is one more choice which is not recommended, but it will give you the highest bitrate, best 4K, Atmos and no need for a good internet speed. Sail the high seas.”

Dhurandhar’s OTT Version Was Shorter Than The Theatrical Run

Interestingly, when Dhurandhar first premiered on Netflix after its theatrical run, viewers had noticed that the OTT cut was shorter than the theatrical version. While the film originally ran for 3 hours and 34 minutes in cinemas, the Netflix version, including the post-credit scene, clocks in at 3 hours and 25 minutes, leading to complaints that nearly nine minutes had been removed.
