🎭 The Akshaye Khanna
Phenomenon: "Rehman Dakait"
While Ranveer Singh leads the charge as the intrepid
Indian intelligence officer Hamza, the internet has found a new obsession: Akshaye
Khanna. Playing the chilling and charismatic antagonist Rehman Dakait,
Akshaye has set social media ablaze.
- The
"Aura" Entry: His viral entry scene, set to the Bahraini rap
track "FA9LA" by Flipperachi, has become a massive trend
on Instagram Reels and TikTok. Fans are praising his "silent
power" and calm, menacing screen presence.
- Highlight
of the Movie: Netizens are calling his performance the soul of the
film. Despite a star-studded cast including Sanjay Dutt, R.
Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal, Akshaye’s "no-PR,
pure-talent" approach has made him the unintended hero of the season.
- The
Meme Trend: A hilarious throwback to the 2010 film Tees Maar Khan
has resurfaced, with fans jokingly "thanking" Akshay Kumar for
spotting Akshaye Khanna’s potential years ago—a trend that even Akshay
Kumar responded to with his iconic "Kabhi ghamand nahi kiya"
line.
🎬 Why the Juggernaut
Won't Stop
Director Aditya Dhar, the visionary behind Uri:
The Surgical Strike, has blended intense patriotism with a gritty,
realistic spy universe. The film’s success in unconventional markets, including
houseful shows in small towns across Jammu & Kashmir, indicates a massive
pan-Indian appeal.
Key Success Factors:
- Real-Life
Inspiration: The plot, centered on an undercover mission in Karachi’s
Lyari underworld, resonated with audiences looking for
"hard-hitting" stories.
- Technical
Mastery: From the 214-minute immersive runtime to the viral Arabic
hip-hop score by Shashwat Sachdev, every element has been crafted for the
big screen.
- The
"Part 2" Hype: With the makers already confirming Dhurandhar
2: Revenge for March 19, 2026, the "Part 1" momentum
is expected to carry through the upcoming holiday season.
