Anurag Kashyap retrospective in Germany
MUMBAI: A retrospective of Anurag Kashyap‘s films has been arranged at Hamburg, Germany from 11 to 16 July.
The screening, to be held at the Hamburg-based Metropolis Cinema, has been organised under the banner of Daring Pioneers of Indian Cinema on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Indian cinema during the India Week 2012.
Films of Kashyap that would be screened on the occasion are Gangs Of Wasseypur, That Girl In Yellow Boots and Black Friday with Kashyap‘s Dev-D opening the event. Notable filmmaker, Fatih Akin will introduce Kashyap and his works.
Said Kinemathek Hamburg international programming head Rita Baukrowitz, “Under the title of ‘Daring Pioneers of Indian cinema‘, the Metropolis cinema is now presenting for the works of outstanding Indian directors. This time the focus is on present-day cinema and on Kashyap, the pioneer of the new independent movement within the Hindi film industry. In his films, Kashyap draws special inspiration from the works of the Hamburg film-maker Fatih Akin – a feeling of admiration that is mutual. We are looking forward to an interesting cinema discussion between Akin, Kashyap and Nair.”
Said Kashyap in a statement, “”I am very honoured to be presenting all my films in Hamburg and really happy to be hanging out with Fatih again. He always inspires me and this time too hoping to come back rejuvenated.”
The Kinemathek Hamburg, in cooperation with the Indian Embassy in Berlin, the Consulate-General of India in Hamburg and the Hamburg Ministry of Culture, will be presenting this comprehensive film programme on modern Indian cinema to commemorate 60 years of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Dhurandhar returns to theatres worldwide on March 13 ahead of Dhurandhar The Revenge release
Jio Studios re-releases blockbuster across 500 screens globally before sequel
MUMBAI: The spy saga of Dhurandhar is gearing up for a big-screen encore before its next chapter arrives.
Ahead of the release of Dhurandhar The Revenge on March 19, Jio Studios and B62 Studios are bringing the original Dhurandhar back to cinemas worldwide in a rare international theatrical re-release.
The global blockbuster is returning across nearly 500 screens, including around 250 in India from March 12 and another 250 overseas beginning March 13.
For fans of the franchise, the move offers a chance to revisit the film that ignited the high-octane spy-action universe just days before the sequel lands in theatres. It also sets up a rare back-to-back big-screen experience, allowing audiences to relive the original before diving straight into the next chapter.
While re-releases of popular films are occasionally seen in India, international re-runs of Hindi films remain uncommon. The scale of the rollout reflects the growing global appetite for the franchise.
In North America alone, Dhurandhar will return to theatres across nearly 185 screens, highlighting the strong anticipation surrounding the upcoming sequel.
The excitement is set to build further with special Wednesday premiere shows of Dhurandhar The Revenge scheduled across the US and Canada on March 18, a day ahead of its global release. Many of these premieres will be hosted on premium large format screens, featuring wall-to-wall displays, immersive sound systems such as Dolby Atmos, enhanced projection and luxury seating.
These formats are typically reserved for major Hollywood event films, and early bookings suggest strong demand with several shows already sold out.
The recently released trailer of Dhurandhar The Revenge has also sparked buzz among exhibitors and trade circles, with expectations running high for the film’s international performance.
Dhurandhar The Revenge is written, directed and produced by Aditya Dhar. The film is produced by Jyoti Deshpande and Lokesh Dhar.
Jio Studios presents a B62 Studios production, an Aditya Dhar film.
The spy-action thriller will release worldwide on March 19, 2026, in five languages including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.
The film arrives in theatres globally on the occasion of Gudi Padwa and Ugadi, just ahead of Eid, setting the stage for a festive box office run.
