Chaos broke out during the paid previews of Dhurandhar 2 at a multiplex in Noida’s DLF Mall after screenings were abruptly halted midway due to a technical glitch. The incident occurred on March 18 at the DLF Mall of India, where audiences had gathered in large numbers for early shows ahead of the film’s official release.

The disruption reportedly began during the 5:45 pm screening at a PVR Superplex, when the interval extended indefinitely without any clear communication. Viewers were informed about a “technical glitch,” but no timeline was provided for when the screening would resume, leaving audiences confused and frustrated inside the theatre.

As hours passed without resolution, the situation escalated, with several shows eventually being cancelled altogether. Many viewers had already watched the first half of the film and were left stranded without clarity on refunds or rescheduling. The lack of immediate response from theatre management contributed to the growing unrest among moviegoers.
