Dhurandhar: Raw & Undekha on Netflix adds more cuss words, not new scenes
Netflix has begun streaming Dhurandhar: Raw & Undekha as an alternate cut of the film. However, the version keeps previously muted cuss words and adds no new scenes or violence.
Why promise, when you can't deliver? That's the exact feeling you get when you watch Dhurandhar: Raw & Undekha, which is now streaming on Netflix. The only thing raw and undekha (unseen) in the new version are additional cuss words.
"Raw and undekha" might make you think there's something additional on the table. Something that we didn't see in theatres when the film was released on December 5, or weeks later when the blockbuster dropped on Netflix. So the hopes were naturally high. But alas, the reality is far from the promise sold by the makers. "Hamza strikes, raw and lethal," says the tagline of the Ranveer Singh-starrer on Netflix.
What's raw and undekha in Dhurandhar on Netflix?
To begin with, the runtimes of the original and the newer version are the same - 3 hours 25 minutes.
The second thing you immediately notice is that the cuss words, which were either muted or removed in the original, have been retained as is.
You can also see the English translations of those cuss words in the subtitles. That’s it. No additional gore or violence. No extra scenes.
To cross-check, the original and newer versions were even played side by side to see if any peak detail was being missed. To no real surprise, there wasn’t anything new. Is it a smart move to have the same movie listed as two separate titles on Netflix? Yes. Does it live up to the expectations created by the 'Raw and Undekha' promise? No.
