The film Dhurandhar, featuring Ranveer Singh, has taken theaters by storm. Directed by Aditya Dhar, this spy-thriller tells the story of an undercover operative infiltrating a crime syndicate in Pakistan. With engaging storytelling and impactful performances, the movie is achieving remarkable box office success.
Fans’ Theory on Dhurandhar and Vicky Kaushal’s ‘Uri’ Goes Viral
A lively discussion has erupted among fans on social media regarding a potential connection between Dhurandhar and the 2019 film Uri: The Surgical Strike. The primary theory focuses on a character named Jaskirat Singh Rangi.
The Viral Theory Explained
- In Dhurandhar, Ranveer Singh portrays Hamza, identified as Jaskirat Singh Rangi.
- The character is chosen by Intelligence Bureau Chief Ajay Sanyal, played by R. Madhavan, for a mission in Lyari, Pakistan.
- This name resonates with audiences due to its mention in Uri, where Vicky Kaushal’s character interacts with Flight Lieutenant Seerat Kaur, played by Kirti Kulhari.
- In that film, Kaur refers to her late husband, Captain Jaskirat Singh Rangi, a Punjab Regiment officer.
Much speculation surrounds the connection, with fans commenting, “Dhurandhar and Uri are connected,” while others argue, “This is not a coincidence.”
Counterarguments and Timeline Discrepancies
Despite the excitement surrounding this theory, not all viewers agree. Some highlight timeline inconsistencies between the two films. Uri is set in 2016, while Dhurandhar takes place in 2002. Comments from social media users reflect this skepticism: “The dates don’t match. They can’t be the same person” and “Maybe the name is a tribute to Uri, not a unified timeline.”
Future of the Franchise
The first installment of Dhurandhar ends on a cliffhanger, leaving audiences questioning Rangi’s past. Speculation is growing about Dhurandhar 2, expected to release on March 19, 2026. Fans hope this sequel will explore deeper connections and continue to expand the franchise’s narrative. While no official comments have been made by Aditya Dhar, enthusiasts remain optimistic about a cohesive geopolitical thriller universe.
