New Delhi: Actor Hrithik Roshan has sparked widespread curiosity and confusion online after posting two dramatically different reactions to Aditya Dhar’s blockbuster Dhurandhar within just a few hours. While his first review raised concerns over the film’s political messaging, the second post focused solely on praising the cast and the filmmaking — leading fans to wonder what prompted the sudden tonal shift.
Back-to-back posts trigger online confusion
On Wednesday evening, Hrithik shared an elaborate Instagram Story praising the film’s craft but also stating clearly that he “disagrees with the politics” of Dhurandhar. However, in his follow-up posts on both Instagram and X, he avoided any political commentary, instead celebrating the actors’ performances with glowing remarks.
This contrast did not go unnoticed. Social media was quickly flooded with humorous reactions and speculation.
One user wrote, “Hrithik on IG: ‘I disagree with the politics.’ Hrithik on X 48 hours later: ‘Bro the cinema tho.’”
Another joked, “Ye Twitter aur Insta do alag Hrithik chala rahe hain kya?”
Others wondered if separate admin teams were controlling his accounts, while one puzzled user asked, “What about the politics of the film, which you had questioned last night, sir?”
Hrithik’s second review focuses on the cast
In his latest post, Hrithik wrote, “Still can’t get DHURANDHAR out of my mind. @AdityaDharFilms you are an incredible maker man.”
He went on to praise the film’s lead actors, especially Ranveer Singh, calling his silent-to-fierce character arc “consistent” and powerful.
He also showered praise on Akshaye Khanna, R Madhavan and Rakesh Bedi, writing:
“#akshayekhanna has always been my fav and this film is proof why. @ActorMadhavan bloody mad grace, strength and dignity!! But man @bolbedibol what you did was phenomenal.”
Hrithik further applauded the makeup and prosthetics departments before signing off with: “I can’t wait for part 2!!!”
What he said earlier: praise with reservations
Hrithik’s earlier Instagram Story — still visible on his profile — took a more nuanced tone.
He emphasised his love for cinema and admired how the team poured its soul into the making of Dhurandhar.
“I love people who climb into a vortex and let the story take control,” he wrote, calling the film “cinema” in its purest form.
However, he also added:
“I may disagree with the politics of it… and argue about the responsibilities us filmmakers should bear as citizens of the world.”
He concluded that despite his political reservations, he “loved and learnt” from the film as a student of filmmaking.
Film background and response
Directed, written and co-produced by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar features an ensemble cast including Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, Sara Arjun and Rakesh Bedi. The film has been performing strongly at the global box office, crossing ₹230 crore worldwide within five days of release.
The film’s storyline and political undertones have stirred discussions online, making Hrithik’s review — especially his disagreement with the politics — more prominent in public conversation.
Why the confusion matters
Hrithik Roshan is known for being thoughtful and cautious with public statements. The sudden change in tone between his two posts sparked widespread speculation. Was the second review an attempt to balance the first? Or simply a continuation focusing on different aspects of the film?
While Hrithik has not clarified the reason for the differing statements, both posts remain online, reflecting two distinct perspectives — one as a viewer assessing the film’s ideological stance, and another as an industry colleague applauding artistic effort.
Conclusion
As chatter on social media continues, fans and commentators remain intrigued by Hrithik’s dual reviews. For now, the actor’s layered response has added a fresh conversation point to Dhurandhar’s already massive buzz — highlighting how film, politics and stardom often intersect in unpredictable ways.
