In the world of film, there is a fine line between a “deliberate creative choice” and “we just shot it that way.” But for the Internet, Dhurandhar It’s not a movie like that and Aditya Dhar It’s not that director. According to netizens, every blink, every shadow, and possibly even the patches on a character’s shirt in the film are part of a grand, multi-layered master plan.
It all started when the film was released on OTT, eagle-eyed spectators He began to analyze each frame, coming up with theories that probably didn’t even cross the screenwriter’s head.
A particular scene with Ranveer Singh’s Hamza Ali Mazhari and Danish Pandokar’s Uzair Baloch caught the attention of fans because of a small detail – their discipline with weapons. Hamza keeps his finger strictly off the trigger, while Uzair rests it right on it.
Director Aditya Dhar took to Instagram to clarify that this was not a random framing choice. He explained that Hamza is a trained operator who only pulls the trigger when he is ready to shoot, a sign of discipline. Uzair, meanwhile, reflects a lack of formal training, and his finger placement indicates a tendency to act based on raw emotion rather than calculated intent.
Once the “trigger theory” was validated, a switch was flipped in the brains of the Indian audience. Suddenly, everyone got a PhD in “Aditya Dhar Genius”. X was inundated with “deep analysis” threads that probably made Aditya Dhar scratch his head.
How Aditya Dhar’s praise became a memefest
After a wave of genuine praise, the meme lords decided enough was enough. Now, the “Aditya Dhar Genius” trend has become a glorious, ironic mockery of overanalyzing everything. X users now find “delicacy” in the most mundane moments of the film and the results are hilarious.

Another user joked: “People on Twitter are saying, look how in this scene there is salt in the tea and Hamza immediately spits out the tea after taking the first sip. The level of detail done in Dhurandhar by Aditya Dhar is crazy.”

One user went all philosophical: “Remember the scene where Donga offers Ranveer Singh to smoke and he refuses, but after they insist, he smokes. Now fast forward to the trailer of Dhurandhar 2, where he is shown smoking with blood on his face. This tells us how bad smoking is, you start it for fun with friends who insist on you, but end up being so habitual that it puts your life in danger. Delivering a subtle social message like a genius. Aditya Dhar”
Another pointed out the “subtle clues”, “Note how in this scene Rehman Dakait has 2 eyes and 2 ears. Even Hamza has 2 eyes and 2 ears. Subtle hints that it will be made in 2 parts. Maximum details from Aditya Dhar.”

“In Dhurandhar, the first thing Hamza does after entering a soft drink shop is drink a soft drink. This level of detail from Aditya Dhar is crazy,” another user wrote.

And finally, the last “genius” move, “In Dhurandhar, the title ‘Dhurandhar’ is shown only at the end of the film, informing us, the audience, that the film is finally over. Aditya Dhar is so brilliant in this.”

So the next time you see a character in a Dhar movie sneeze, don’t just say “God bless you.” Check the speed, angle and volume, it’s probably a coded message. That is simply ‘The Genius of Aditya Dhar’.
