Did Ram Gopal Varma take a dig at Yash's Toxic receiving negative reviews with his Dhurandhar post? Internet thinks so
Here's the latest update from the Bollywood world:
Toxic and Dhurandhar 2 were originally slated to rollout on the same day. Ram Gopal Varma posts about Dhurandhar On Wednesday evening, RGV wrote, “Now watching # Dhurandhar again,” on his X (formerly Twitter). He provided no context for why he was re-watching it or anything else. However, many on the internet seemed to think that he was taking a dig at Toxic receiving negative reviews since the morning. Many thought the timing of his post was hilarious.
Adding to this, “Bro is more toxic than #toxic,” joked one X user reacting to his post. “i understood TOXIC is like DHURANDHAR? / watching DHURANDHAR is best than watching TOXIC,” wrote another. “and imagine they were about clash against this movie. yash is actually clever. He knew dhurandhar gonna trash this movie left right centre everywhere,” claimed one X user. “this is called Ragebaiting for Geetu Mohandas,” wrote another.
Meanwhile, Others chided him for seemingly taking a dig. “Can understand Audience reacting like that. But atleast have some manner to respect someone hard work and craft who's filmmaker like as you lol. Better than many shitty movies,” criticized one X user. “Yesterday yash followers were hyped and were waiting for SRV and RGV tweets, But the tweet they recieved. Stay strong yash followers, this too shall pass,” claimed one X user.
Notably, In February, RGV wrote on X about the potential clash, “KGF 2’s GOlIATH like collections suddenly looked like a tiny DAVID in front of #Dhurandar ‘s GOLIATH collections. But now the sequel to that GOLIATH #Dhurandhar2, is the new DAVID staring up at #Toxic, the fresh GOLIATH.”
As per the latest buzz, He also wrote, “The principal difference between the two is that #Dhurandhar respects the audience’s intelligence and #Toxic presumes their dumbness. KGF 2 was a LOCAL movie that aimed at the DUMBNESS in the MASSES and Dhurandhar aimed at the INTELLIGENCE in the MASSES. THAT is exactly why it became GLOBAL.”
In further updates, Dhurandhar 2 and Toxic were supposed to clash at the ticket-window in March, but a few days before rollout, the Yash-starrer was postponed. The makers shared that they were postponing the movie due to the West Asian conflict, which is affecting releases in the Middle East. On Aap Ki Adalat of late, Yash spoke about how people believed he was scared of the clash and shared that it was not the reason for the delay. Toxic also stars Kiara Advani , Nayanthara, Huma Qureshi, Tara Sutaria and Rukmini Vasanth.
