The blockbuster success of Ranveer Singh's 'Dhurandhar' is not just a cinematic triumph but has also become a massive content engine for social media. The film, directed by Aditya Dhar, is generating a constant stream of memes, viral song clips, and reaction videos. However, one such reaction video created by an Indian influencer sparked an unexpected international mix-up, leading to a humorous clarification from the creator himself.
The Viral Spoof That Crossed Borders
While 'Dhurandhar' enjoys widespread praise, its historical accuracy has been a topic of discussion for some. Indian content creator Vikanshu Tomar decided to playfully comment on this narrative. He created a spoof review video with two other men, posing as Pakistani viewers reacting to the film's portrayal of events.
The video quickly went viral on social media, amassing over 2 million views. In a twist, several meme pages and even some media groups began circulating the clip, labeling it as a genuine 'Pakistani man praising Dhurandhar.' The satirical act was misinterpreted as a real reaction from across the border.
Creator Vikanshu Tomar Sets the Record Straight
As the video gained traction and media attention, Vikanshu Tomar broke his silence. He posted a follow-up video to clarify the confusion, but characteristically, he did it in his signature humorous style. Once again adopting a Pakistani accent, he addressed the media outlets that misreported his original spoof.
In his witty retort, he said, "Aapki itni badi team hai, itna bada channel hai. Research karein please. Aisa haal raha toh agli baar Karachi mein campaigning Akshaye Khanna hi kara denge" (You have such a big team, such a big news channel. Please research. If this is how it is, they will get Akshaye Khanna to campaign in Karachi elections the next time).
He concluded with a hilarious promise, stating, "Next time se acting halki karunga" (I will act less convincing next time), acknowledging that his performance was perhaps too authentic.
'Dhurandhar' Continues Its Record-Breaking Run
Amidst this social media frenzy, 'Dhurandhar' shows no signs of slowing down at the box office. The film is storming towards the coveted ₹400 crore mark in the Indian market. On the global stage, its collections are even more impressive, having already crossed a monumental ₹540 crore worldwide.
The incident highlights the powerful intersection of cinema and digital culture in India, where a film's impact is measured not just in box office receipts but also in its ability to generate nationwide conversation and creative content, even if it occasionally leads to crossed wires.
