Did Ram Charan review Dhurandhar before watching it? Here's why fans are confused
Ram Charan recently revealed that he watched Dhurandhar on OTT last week and called it a terrific film. However, the actor had already shared a detailed review praising Dhurandhar: The Revenge during its theatrical release in March.
Ram Charan's recent comments about Dhurandhar have sparked an interesting question. Speaking at a media event, the actor said he had watched Dhurandhar on OTT the previous week and described it as a "terrific film." The remark, however, appears to sit oddly alongside a post he had shared months earlier praising Dhurandhar: The Revenge soon after its theatrical release.
The apparent discrepancy stems from a social media post Charan shared on March 20, a day after Dhurandhar: The Revenge hit theatres amid significant buzz. In the post, the Peddi star reviewed the film as "raw, gripping, and impactful" and praised director Aditya Dhar, Ranveer Singh and several members of the cast.
Given that Charan had already publicly reviewed the film in March, his recent statement at Republic Summit 2026 about watching Dhurandhar on OTT last week raises a simple question: was he revisiting the film months later, or referring to a different project altogether?
While there is no clarity yet, the timeline has created a curious little puzzle for fans trying to piece together exactly which Dhurandhar Charan was talking about.
Interestingly, Dhurandhar director Aditya Dhar later responded to the actor's appreciation, thanking him for his support and writing, “It means a lot coming from you. We just tried to tell a story with honesty and a little madness. Glad it resonated with you.”
The question, however, remains: if Charan was referring to Dhurandhar: The Revenge at the summit, was the OTT viewing he mentioned his first watch or simply a revisit? The distinction is noteworthy because he had already shared a detailed appreciation post for the film during its theatrical run.
If, on the other hand, Charan was referring to the first Dhurandhar film, it opens up another point of curiosity. Having publicly praised Dhurandhar: The Revenge shortly after its release, did he connect with the sequel before watching the film that preceded it? For now, his comments have left room for interpretation.
This has left some users wondering whether Charan's original appreciation post came after watching the film or was based on industry feedback and early screenings. One social media user wrote, "He said he watched Dhurandhar on OTT, but he had already posted a lengthy appreciation tweet during its theatrical release." Another user questioned, "Did he tweet without actually watching the film back then, or was he talking about a rewatch?"
Others believe the explanation is much simpler: the actor may have been referring to a rewatch of the franchise after its OTT release rather than a first-time viewing experience.
Here's the trailer:
Meanwhile, The Dhurandhar franchise has become one of Indian cinema's biggest box-office success stories. The first film grossed Rs 1,307 crore worldwide, while Dhurandhar: The Revenge crossed Rs 1,800 crore globally, taking the franchise's combined gross beyond Rs 3,100 crore.
