Hrithik Roshan has unintentionally sparked a mini social-media mystery. Within hours of sharing his thoughts on Aditya Dhar’s blockbuster Dhurandhar, the actor posted another review — one that sounded dramatically different from the first. And naturally, the internet is trying to decode what exactly happened.
From Political Concerns to Full-Blown Praise
Hrithik’s latest post landed on both X and Instagram, where he doubled down on his admiration for the film’s cast. Calling it a movie he “still can’t get out of his mind,” the actor applauded director Aditya Dhar and highlighted the performances of:
- Ranveer Singh — “the silent to the fierce… what a journey”
- Akshaye Khanna — “proof why he has always been my favourite”
- R. Madhavan — praised for “grace, strength and dignity”
- Rakesh Bedi — a performance Hrithik called “phenomenal”
He ended his thoughts with a cheer for the makeup and prosthetics team and a hype-laden sign-off: “I can’t wait for part 2!!!”
So Why Is the Internet Confused?
Because this latest review arrived barely hours after another one — a more nuanced take where Hrithik admired the storytelling but openly questioned the film’s politics.
Fans online immediately noticed the shift in tone.
Reactions ranged from playful confusion to outright memes:
- “What happened to the ‘politics’ of it you ‘citizen of the world’?”
- “Dogle ka doglapan dekh ke maja aa raha’”
- “God should have one you some brain instead of an extra thumb to understand politics better”
- “Meanwhile, the same Hrithik on Instagram. Does he really think the public is a fool?”
- “Was your girlfriend using your Insta account yesterday?”
Some even joked that the star seemed surprised by his own posts — as if he too stumbled upon the “second review” by accident.
A Look Back at His First Review
On Wednesday evening, Hrithik’s initial reaction to Dhurandhar went up via Instagram Stories. It was thoughtful and introspective — a filmmaker speaking to fellow filmmakers.
“I love cinema,” he wrote. “I love people who climb into a vortex and let the story take control.”
Calling Dhurandhar “an example of that kind of storytelling,” he admitted he disagreed with its politics, adding that filmmakers must remain conscious of their responsibilities. But even with those reservations, he praised the craft and noted how much he learned from the viewing experience.
The Film at the Center of the Buzz
Directed, written and co-produced by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar features a massive ensemble cast:
- Ranveer Singh
- Akshaye Khanna
- R. Madhavan
- Arjun Rampal
- Sanjay Dutt
- Sara Arjun
- Rakesh Bedi
The film continues to dominate the box office, racing past the ₹230 crore worldwide mark in just five days, placing it among the biggest Indian releases of the year and the strongest performers of Ranveer’s post-pandemic career.
Final Words
Whether Hrithik intended to soften his earlier critique or simply wanted to spotlight the performances more directly, his back-to-back reviews have added an unexpected subplot to Dhurandhar’s already buzzy run. If anything, the moment shows just how passionately the industry is reacting to the film — and how quickly a few posts can spark an entire conversation online.
