Mumbai, March 29 – The craze surrounding "Dhurandhar: The Revenge" shows no signs of abating. Social media users are now delving into the finer details of the film.
Internet users took to X, formerly Twitter, and are trying to uncover the identity of Shirani, the leader of the Balochistan United Force. One user revealed that the actor has been active in the industry for over 30 years.
The user wrote, "#TIL The Baloch chief Shirani is this guy. Wow, Daler Mehndi #Dhurandhar Bimal Oberoi".
Other users pointed out details, as one said, "There's espionage happening in this espionage movie, what a scene. I mean, how old is that Daler Mehndi song anyway? Definitely late 90s, if not early 2000s".
"Dhurandhar: The Revenge," directed by Aditya Dhar and starring Ranveer Singh, has emerged as one of the biggest box-office successes in recent Indian cinema. The response has been overwhelmingly positive across markets. The film has achieved high occupancy rates, multiple sold-out shows, and strong traction in dubbed versions, indicating its pan-India appeal.
Industry figures like Ayushmann Khurrana and Anupam Kher praised its scale and performances, while critics highlighted its spectacle-driven storytelling. Ram Gopal Varma called its success a disruption to traditional filmmaking norms.
Culturally, the "Dhurandhar" franchise has evolved into a mass phenomenon. Its blend of hyper-stylized action, nationalism, and star power has resonated strongly with audiences, reflecting current cinematic trends. Viral moments, music, and even off-screen incidents have amplified its reach, turning it into more than just a film, a conversation driver.
The sequel solidifies the franchise as a defining force in modern Bollywood spectacle cinema. However, the film has also ruffled one section of the audience, with many claiming it to be pro-establishment propaganda.
