Aditya Dhar’s latest film, Dhurandhar, is currently captivating audiences in theaters. This spy drama features Ranveer Singh as an undercover Indian agent navigating terror networks in Pakistan. As the film garners positive word-of-mouth, fans are buzzing on social media about its plot and characters.
Connection to Uri: Fans Speculate
A theory has emerged suggesting a link between Dhurandhar and Dhar’s acclaimed 2019 film, Uri. In Dhurandhar, Singh portrays Hamza, who is selected by the Indian intelligence chief, played by R. Madhavan, to infiltrate the gang of Rehman Dakait, portrayed by Akshaye Khanna. The film’s climax reveals that Hamza’s real identity is Jaskirat Singh Rangi, a convict seeking redemption through his dangerous mission.
This name carries notable significance. In Uri, a dialogue references Captain Jaskirat Singh Rangi, who lost his life during an operation. Fans have taken to social media, theorizing that the naming is intentional.
Fan Theories and Reactions
- One user stated, “Dhurandhar and Vicky Kaushal’s Uri are connected; Singh’s character Jaskirat Singh Rangi is a link.”
- Another questioned the coincidence, stating, “Both films are directed by Aditya Dhar.”
- Some viewers, however, expressed skepticism due to timeline discrepancies, pointing out that Uri is set in 2016, while Dhurandhar begins in 2002.
This has led to speculation that Dhar may have chosen the name as a tribute to Uri, rather than establishing a direct connection between the characters. Any definitive answer regarding Hamza’s history is likely to be unveiled in the upcoming sequel, Dhurandhar 2, scheduled for release on March 19, 2026.
Dhurandhar’s Performance
The film has also performed well at the box office, boasting earnings of ₹60 crore net in India and a global total of ₹88 crore. Alongside Singh, the cast features notable actors such as Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, and Sara Arjun.
As discussions continue, audiences remain eager to see how these connections will influence the narrative in Dhurandhar and beyond.
