Instagram Adds Dhurandhar-Inspired Font to Edits App for Reels

What You need to Know

  • Instagram has introduced a new Dhurandhar-inspired cinematic font inside its Edits app for creating movie-style Reels

  • Creators can use the font while creating or editing Reels without downloading any extra files

  • Instagram confirmed the font is a limited-time promotional feature, meaning it may be removed after a short period

Font Inspired by Dhurandhar

Instagram is once again combining entertainment and content creation. Instagram has rolled out a brand-new cinematic font within its editing app, inspired by the blockbuster movie "Dhurandhar The Revenge." This is specifically for creators who wish to give their Instagram Reels a look that is trending in terms of movie-style visuals.


This new update is being rolled out for both Android and iOS users via Instagram's editing app, Instagram Edits. However, there is a catch. This new feature is only available for a limited time. This means that creators who wish to try this new cinematic font will have to do so sooner rather than later.

With this move, Instagram is yet again moving towards integrating entertainment into its features, specifically for creators.


A Cinematic Font Inspired by Dhurandhar

The newly added font style is heavily influenced by the bold cinematic style used in Dhurandhar: The Revenge. The styles used in this font are as follows:

  • Bold Fonts

  • Cinematic Fonts

  • Movie Style Fonts

  • Poster Style Fonts

The idea behind this font style is very simple: it allows the creator to immediately access trending visual styles that are already popular with the audience. By using this style, which resembles movie titles, the creator is able to add a sense of drama and professionalism to their Reels.


This is also a reflection of the increasing emphasis being placed by Instagram on the integration of pop culture into their platform. Rather than the creator trying to add movie-style text to their posts, Instagram is now using this style in their own platform.


This helps the creator:

  • Make movie-style Reels🎬

  • Create promotional posts

  • Trend topics

  • Increase engagement using cinematic visuals


Where You’ll Find the New Font

The Dhurandhar-inspired font is available inside the Instagram Edits app. Users don’t need to download any additional plugins or packs.


Here’s where you’ll see it:

  • Inside the text tools section

  • Alongside existing font styles

  • Available during Reel creation

  • Usable while editing drafts

Since the rollout is gradual, some users may not see it immediately. If the option is missing, updating the app from the Play Store or App Store may help.


How to Use the Dhurandhar-Inspired Font

Using the new font is simple and works just like other font options inside the app:

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Open the Instagram Edits app

  2. Start a new Reel or open a draft

  3. Tap on the Text tool

  4. Browse through available fonts

  5. Select the Dhurandhar-inspired font

  6. Type your text

  7. Adjust size, placement, and style

  8. Preview your Reel

  9. Publish your content

This straightforward workflow ensures creators can quickly experiment without learning anything new.


Try It Before It’s Gone

Instagram has confirmed that this font is only available for a limited time. This suggests the feature is part of a promotional campaign tied to the film.


Limited-time features like this are common when platforms collaborate with entertainment releases. Once the promotional window ends, the font may be removed permanently.


So if you're planning to create:

  • Movie-style Reels

  • Fan edits

  • Trend-based content

  • Promotional videos

Now is the best time to try it.

Instagram’s Strategy

This move reflects Instagram’s broader strategy:

  • Making trend participation easier

  • Encouraging Reel creation

  • Boosting engagement with cinematic visuals

By offering movie-inspired fonts, Instagram is making it easier for creators to ride trending waves without needing advanced editing skills.


Instagram's decision to introduce a font inspired by Dhurandhar is a shrewd move, as it brings in both the hype of entertainment and the creative tools for creators. It allows creators to quickly make a cinematic Reel, all while giving one of the biggest releases of the year a lot of visibility.


For creators who wish to leverage trending visuals, this feature should be used as soon as possible, given that it is a limited-time feature.
