<p>Dhurandhar, 2025’s biggest hit, is finally on OTT. On January 30, Netflix announced that the Aditya Dhar-directed spy thriller is now streaming on Netflix. The film stars Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, Sara Arjun, R Madhavan and Rakesh Bedi in key roles.

Ranveer ate him whenever they appeared together, and if you think he did, then you have 0 knowledge about how films are made and what's 'acting', but jobless people of social media always try to s*** jobless flop actors to degrade leading stars..!

The film has grossed over Rs 1000 crore at the box office globally and tells the story of an Indian spy who infiltrates one of the deadliest gangs in Lyari, Karachi, Pakistan. The film was loved by the audience, and many lauded Akshaye Khanna’s performance as dread don Rehman Dakait, the most. Many felt that Khanna’s character was one of the strongest characters in the film and the actor had even overshadowed the lead Ranveer Singh in the film. Now that the film has released on OTT, several users feel differently. Did Akshaye Khanna overshadow Ranveer Singh in Dhurandhar? Several users on social media heaped praises on Ranveer Singh’s performance in the film and speculated why Akshaye was lauded more. A user on X wrote, "Finally watched Dhurandhar. It’s a well-written and well-made movie, though there is too much unnecessary gore. Everyone has acted well, but Ranveer is spectacular! Akshay Khanna has a great screen presence, but I don’t think he has overshadowed Ranveer." "Akshay is not even one per cent of all the hype that was made," read another comment. Another user wrote, "Dhurandhar has been watched, and I have a different review for the movie, but the thing that pissed me off most is 'Akshaye Khanna overshadowed Ranveer' PR gimmick because he didn't, not even one per cent. Smoking in slow mo with a fancy wig isn't called acting and overshadowing. He was even terrible in his son's death sequence. Ranveer ate him whenever they appeared together, and if you think he did, then you have 0 knowledge about how films are made and what's 'acting', but jobless people of social media always try to s*** jobless flop actors to degrade leading stars..! Anybody who deserves credit for Dhurandhar's success after ‘propaganda’ is only Ranveer Singh."

<p>Dhurandhar's debut on Netflix has led to a fan war on the internet between fans of Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna. OTT audience have stated that Akshay Khanna did not overshadow Ranveer as was believed earlier.&nbsp;</p>

Mardaani 3 x review: Netizens hail Rani Mukerji's crime thriller 'hard-hitting' and 'worth-watching'

<p>Rani Mukerji's latest offering, Mardaani 3, presents her in a larger-than-life, no-nonsense, gritty cop- a role that she has played well in the previous two instalments in the franchise. &nbsp;While the actress delivers well to her part, the film sticks to the basics and familiar template, giving a sense of déjà vu to the viewers.

Mardaani was always tailor-made to show Rani in an action-hero avatar, who would be at par with the Singhams of the world, and the actress truly shines throughout.

<p>Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar has arrived on OTT, but it's disappointed fans. Why? Over the edits made for the OTT release. Aditya Dhar's directorial had fans crazy with its songs, performances, especially Akshaye Khanna, and mind-blowing action.

But instead of enjoying, they were left disappointed over the cuts and trims made for OTT.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
