Hrithik Roshan Gets Trolled: Hrithik Roshan’s latest comments on Ranveer Singh’s smacking hit Dhurandhar landed him squarely in the midst of an online debate and, some way or the other, have developed into a trollfest with actors and observers wielding opposing opinions while demanding His commitment to explain what he really meant. What started as a good-humored tribute has turned nasty and seems to be going nowhere.
The actor took to Instagram to express his admiration for Dhurandhar, which he said was a gripping cinematic experience. He praised the team for fully immersing themselves in the story; he felt that the film shakes, spins, and purges every bit of emotion on to the screen, and he respects this as a student of cinema greatly. But the controversy arose from his inclusion of the sentence: “I may disagree with the politics of it.” He qualified it by saying the storytellers need to be conscious of the narratives they are projecting.Whatever he said next did not, in his opinion, undermine his profound respect for the craftsmanship involved. The ambiguity was seized upon by cyberspace.
To some, the film Dhurandhar tries to depict acts of terror by Pakistani factions and the devastation they wreak on the Indian soil. To these viewers, Hrithik’s comment sounded insensitive. To some, it even seemed to project sympathy for the antagonist characters or to disapprove of the film’s political stance. Some have even branded him “tone-deaf” given India’s long struggle with terror attacks.
The other section believes it pertains to how some ruling political party might have been portrayed in the film. This only intensified the divide, with fans arguing over whether Hrithik inadvertently politicized the otherwise hard-hitting story.
What began as a simple congratulatory message has morphed into a serious social media storm. Many fans are now pressing Hrithik for clarification as to what political aspects he disagreed with. His continued silence has only served to increase curiosity and contention. Meanwhile, while Dhurandhar continues its box-office success, Hrithik’s comments have added an unsought second level to the film’s discourse.
