The Dhurandhar wave has officially hit the cricketing world. Following the record-breaking success of Aditya Dhar’s espionage epic, India’s batting legend Virat Kohli took to social media , to share his experience watching the film. His glowing review has sent the internet into a frenzy, further cementing the movie’s status as a generational masterpiece.

In a heartfelt Instagram story , Kohli described Dhurandhar (specifically the sequel, Dhurandhar: The Revenge) as a cinematic experience unlike any other produced in India. The cricketer admitted to being completely gripped by the narrative, stating he “didn’t flinch once for almost 4 hours.”

Kohli directed special praise toward filmmaker Aditya Dhar, calling him a “genius” and noting that his talent and conviction are visible in every frame.

While Kohli acknowledged that the entire cast was great, he reserved his highest accolades for Ranveer Singh. According to Kohli, Ranveer has attained a “different level” with his portrayal of the super-spy Hamza. “Your performance was beyond brilliant. Absolutely WOW,” Kohli wrote, echoing the sentiments of millions of fans who have propelled the film to a historic ₹1,500 crore global box office run.

The reaction has sparked massive engagement on platforms like X and Instagram, with fans celebrating the “King Kohli meets King Ranveer” moment. Following the post, eagle-eyed fans noticed that Kohli has also started following Aditya Dhar on Instagram, leading to wild speculation about potential future collaborations between the director and the athlete.

As Dhurandhar 2 continues to shatter records – becoming the first Bollywood film to mint ₹1,000 crore net in India – Kohli’s stamp of approval serves as the ultimate “money wasool” validation for the high-octane patriotic drama.
