The Advertisement Sparks Online Frenzy
Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh ‘s recent advertisement with father-in-law Prakash Padukone has sparked a conversation on the internet. His eagle-eyed fans spotted a moment which they believe is a dig at Dhruv Rathee ‘s criticism of Dhurandhar, and they cannot stop talking about the subtle jibe.
YouTuber Dhruv Rathee had shared videos criticising Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar: The Revenge while discussing an imaginary film with the same name, Operation Bhavandar. In his videos, the YouTuber alleged that both films were “propaganda” for the ruling party.
Fans Decode the ‘Bhavandar’ Reference
Fans flooded social media with hilarious comments. One fan commented, “This is so meta joke… Bhavandar…” Another commented, “How Ranveer Singh trolls @dhruv_rathee.” Another wrote, “Wait I’m crying, the movie advertised behind them is BHAVANDAR.” Another fan said, “Bhavandar movie. I see what y’all did there.” Another commented, “No Dhruv Rathee was harmed.” Another wrote, “Ranveer has no chill. He roasted Dhruv Rathee so silently.” Another comment read, “He roasted Dhruv Rathee without saying a word. Absolute peak moment.”
Dhruv also dismissed people defending Dhurandhar by calling it ‘just a film’. He said, “The problem is that Dhurandhar repeatedly shows you it’s inspired by real events. It says so in the trailer. It shows the real footage from the 26/11 attacks. The real audio recordings of conversations between the terrorists and their handlers have been used. It also uses real-life gangsters and cops based in Pakistan’s Lyari.”
Dhruv Rathee’s Original Criticism of ‘Dhurandhar’
Ranveer will next be seen in the movie Pralay. Helmed by Jai Mehta, the film also stars Kalyani Priyadarshan in the lead role and is scheduled to go on floors later this year.
The advertisement has become a talking point, showcasing how celebrities can engage in subtle social commentary. It remains to be seen if Dhruv Rathee will respond, adding another layer to the ongoing discussion.
