Dhurandhar, which earned more than ₹1,000 crore during its theatrical run, has now arrived on Netflix and triggered a new wave of reactions from audiences. The film stars Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, R Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, Sara Arjun and Rakesh Bedi.
When the film first released in cinemas, a section of fans claimed Akshaye Khanna’s portrayal of antagonist Rehman Dakait dominated the screen. However, following the OTT release, online opinion appears to have shifted.
Many viewers now argue that Ranveer Singh carried the film with a commanding and emotionally charged performance. Social media posts praised his intensity and screen presence, calling him the true highlight of the story.
One user wrote that while Akshaye Khanna had strong screen presence, he did not overshadow Ranveer Singh in any way. Another comment stated that Ranveer’s performance stood out whenever the two appeared together, dismissing earlier claims as exaggerated.
Some viewers were more critical of Akshaye Khanna’s role, describing parts of his performance as overacted and driven more by style than substance. A viral post said that slow motion shots and visual flair should not be confused with strong acting, adding that Ranveer Singh dominated every shared scene.
The renewed discussion has turned Dhurandhar into a trending topic again, months after its theatrical success. Fans now credit Ranveer Singh as the key force behind the film’s popularity rather than its villain..
With Dhurandhar continuing to gain traction on Netflix, the debate highlights how OTT audiences can reshape narratives around performances long after a film leaves cinemas.
