Why Dhurandhar Twitter reviews are shaping early box office talk

The morning shows drew a full mix of fans and regular cinemagoers. Their posts pushed Dhurandhar Twitter reviews into trending lists within hours. Many described the film as intense, rough-edged in parts, and built on sharp editing. One viewer said the action was “bloody and intense” and that the background score gave “goosebumps”.

A different post spoke about the first half alone, praising the classic song choices and tight character work. Short notes, half-sentences, and quick reactions kept repeating the same point: the film has scale, and it shows.

How fans reacted to Ranveer Singh in Dhurandhar

Ranveer Singh’s performance was the most common thread across Dhurandhar Twitter reviews. Several users called him the “best actor of this generation”, while one wrote that his scenes carried “alpha energy”.

Akshaye Khanna and R Madhavan were also singled out. Akshaye, in particular, was mentioned for “stealing the show whenever he appears”, with some calling his scenes the sharpest in the film. One viewer went further, comparing the film to recent releases and calling it “Animal ka baap”, a phrase that then resurfaced in multiple retweets.

What viewers said about the action, pacing and runtime

The action drew heavy attention. Many described it as raw and grounded, with the chase and rescue segments mentioned more than once. Some viewers did mention the length. At 214 minutes, a couple of posts said it felt heavy in parts and could have lost a chunk of time. Yet the same users also pointed out that the pace picks up after the break, with several calling the last stretch the strongest section of the film.

What’s next for Dhurandhar after first reactions

One user summed it up in a simple line: the story feels familiar, but the way it has been shot “hits from the first frame”. For now, Dhurandhar Twitter reviews suggest a strong start. How that carries through the weekend will be seen once the full numbers are out.
