Suryakumar Yadav channels Akshaye Khanna’s viral Dhurandhar moment, delighting fans
The craze for ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’ is not only limited to cinema halls anymore but has now even invaded the world of cricket. Recently, an incident involving Indian cricketer Suryakumar Yadav went viral where he was seen imitating a scene from the movie.
The incident occurred during a team event where the Mumbai Indians were present, with Suryakumar Yadav making an entry similar to the much-talked-about entry scene of actor Akshaye Khanna playing the role of the notorious Pakistani gangster turned politician, Rehman Dakait. The scene has been highly talked about for its energetic background score.
During the function, Suryakumar perfectly mimicked the swagger of the actor, for which he was applauded with loud cheers from his teammates as well as fans. The videos of his performance have gone viral on social media, with fans appreciating his confidence and sense of humor. Fans have commented on how the trend of cricket-cinema fusion is increasing, with cricketers getting increasingly involved in pop culture trends.
The popular step dance that Suryakumar mimicked is to the song “A9LA,” a track created by Bahraini rapper Flipperachi. The song, along with Akshaye Khanna’s intense acting, has made this scene one of the most popular from the movie. The scene has been widely recreated on social media, increasing the popularity of the movie.
Meanwhile, Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar: The Revenge continues to reign at the box office. The film has completed its second week at the box office and shows no signs of letting up. According to trade sources, the film has surpassed the ₹900 crore net mark at the domestic box office. The gross figure for the film has surpassed ₹1,100 crore at the domestic box office.
The film received a thunderous start at the box office with a collection of over ₹100 crores on its first day. The film retained its momentum on its first weekend with a consistent increase in daily collections. The collections on weekdays were also remarkable for the film.
However, in its second week, though the number of shows has reduced marginally, the film is performing exceedingly well. The fact that the film’s earnings have surpassed the ₹245 crore mark in its second week itself has only solidified its position as one of the biggest blockbusters in the history of Indian cinema. The earnings of the film worldwide have surpassed many significant milestones, making the film a global phenomenon.
Directed by Aditya Dhar, the Dhurandhar franchise has been appreciated for its gripping narrative and action sequences. The franchise is inspired by the security issues faced by the country in real life, which only adds to the realism depicted in the movie.
The film’s plot revolves around the character of Hamza Ali Mazari, who goes undercover as a member of a dangerous crime syndicate to disrupt their terror operations. The film’s gripping plot, along with the outstanding performance by the cast, has managed to strike a chord with the audience.
The rise of the movie’s popularity can also be gauged not only from its box office performance but also from its penetration into the lives of people. From dialogues going viral to steps becoming trends, Dhurandhar has become a part of the lives of people.
Suryakumar Yadav’s take on the iconic step is yet another testament to the penetration of the movie into the lives of people. It is yet another example of the amalgamation of sports and entertainment in today’s digital world.
As the movie continues its historical run at the box office, such moments only go to further cement its legacy as a movie that has had an impact beyond the big screens.
