Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna's spy thriller film 'Dhurandhar' became a topic of discussion on social media even before its release. When the film was censored and given an A rating before its OTT release, and 10 minutes of dialogue were muted, viewers lashed out at the filmmakers.

 

 

Many viewers have already watched the film on the OTT platform Netflix. After watching the film, many reviewed the actors' performances. One actor was even trolled for his acting. Read on for details on whose acting was considered the best by the OTT audience and which actor was called an 'overactor':

 

 

Viewers were impressed by this actor after watching 'Dhurandhar.'

When 'Dhurandhar', directed by Aditya Dhar, was released in theaters on December 5th, everyone was praising Akshaye Khanna's character 'Rahman Dacoit'. Everyone believed that Akshaye had overshadowed Ranveer Singh in the film and that it was because of him that the movie did business of more than 1300 crores worldwide.

 

 

However, when people watched Dhurandhar on OTT, their opinions completely changed. According to a report in Hindustan Times, after watching 'Dhurandhar' on OTT, many people feel that Ranveer Singh, not Akshaye Khanna, delivered the best performance in the spy thriller film.

 

 

What did fans say in praise of Ranveer Singh?

Praising Ranveer Singh, who played the character of Hamza Ali Mazari, a user wrote, "Finally watched Dhurandhar. It's a very well-written and well-made movie. However, it has excessive violence. Everyone did a great job, but Ranveer is outstanding. Akshaye Khanna has a good screen presence, but I don't think he was able to overshadow Ranveer Singh in the movie. He didn't live up to even one percent of the hype surrounding him." Viewers troll this actor after watching 'Dhurandhar.'

You might be surprised to learn that the actor being trolled the most by users after watching 'Dhurandhar' on OTT is none other than Akshaye Khanna.

 

 

One user wrote, "I've watched Dhurandhar, and I have a different review of the film. The way Akshaye Khanna was hyped up, claiming he overshadowed Ranveer Singh, really annoyed me. It was a PR stunt because he wasn't even one percent as good as Ranveer. Coming on screen with a paralyzed face, smoking a cigarette in slow motion, and wearing a fancy wig doesn't count as overshadowing or acting. He looked terrible even in the scene depicting his son's death. Ranveer Singh completely outshone him in the film; people's knowledge of film and acting has become zero."

 

 

Another user wrote, "I didn't like his acting either. Arjun Rampal was better than him, who played the role of the villain brilliantly." However, responding to the trolls, Akshaye Khanna's fans said that even if he didn't overshadow Ranveer Singh in the movie, he still did a very good job.
