Headlined by Ranveer Singh in a fierce and nearly unrecognisable avatar, Dhurandhar has ignited a wave of anticipation among audiences. The teaser, packed with gritty action sequences, a haunting visual tone, and the now-viral line 'Ghayal hoon, isliye ghatak hoon,' has drawn comparisons to Dhar's earlier success with Uri: The Surgical Strike.

Dhurandhar X Review The online buzz has been relentless. Social media platform X (formerly Twitter) has been flooded with praise for the teaser's editing, visuals, and performances.

Over on Reddit, fan theories and speculative breakdowns are spreading rapidly, with users praising the teaser's ambiguity and emotional weight. Many are speculating whether the film draws from real-life incidents, sparking debates and predictions across fan forums.

This mystery, paired with a powerhouse ensemble cast including Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, and Sara Arjun, has only amplified the excitement. Adding to the intensity is a thunderous reimagining of the folk classic Jogi, which plays throughout the teaser.
