Don't believe everything you see about Dhurandhar movie release!

A viral clip shows massive crowds thronging theaters and fans going wild for Ranveer Singh's new film Dhurandhar: The Revenge.

WHAT IS THE TRUTH?

The core of the viral claim relies on footage of a massive, energetic crowd swarming a movie theater. However, fact-checkers traced this exact

back to August 2023. The crowd in the video was actually gathered at a theater in Bengaluru for a screening of Sunny Deol's film, Gadar 2.

Social media accounts frequently use this manipulation tactic to gain engagement. They recycle old, high-energy clips of theater crowds and attach new hashtags to artificially manufacture visual hype for a completely different release. As seen in the provided above

, this exact same 2023 footage was also recently misused by the Deccan Chronicle X account, which falsely claimed the video showed fans in Hyderabad rushing to see Prabhas in The Raja Saab.

While Dhurandhar: The Revenge is a movie that may be drawing its own audiences right now, this specific video offers no proof of that success. The claim takes a and pairs it with completely fabricated evidence. It is always best to remain skeptical of viral crowd videos during a major movie release.

CONCLUSION

The conclusion is strictly false and misleading. Since the video was recorded and posted years before Dhurandhar: TheRevenge hit theaters, it is impossible for the crowd in that specific clip to be reacting to Ranveer Singh's new film.
