Ranveer Singh’s big-screen swagger is doing what it does best, sparking conversation well beyond the action beats. On March 19, 2026, Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar: The Revenge hit theatres, and amid the packed shows and noisy first-day buzz, one specific moment has become the internet’s favourite talking point: a clear hat tip to Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic Baazigar.
It is the kind of reference that works on two levels, a cheeky in-film flourish for audiences in the theatre and instant shareable fuel for social media right after the credits roll. Unsurprisingly, the clip and its descriptions have quickly gone viral among fans.
The Baazigar Reference Fans Are Replaying
In the sequence being discussed online, Ranveer’s character Hamza is seen vibing to “Baazigar O Baazigar,” a song closely associated with Shah Rukh Khan’s 1993 film Baazigar. Fans who caught the moment began posting about it soon after their screenings, turning the cameo-like callback into a mini event of its own.
One fan wrote, “SRK reference in Dhurandhar 2, where there was a sequence in which Ranveer Singh was vibing on Baazigar O Baazigar song”.
Another reaction that gained traction read, “Couldn’t control my laugh man Dhurandhar fans were trolling SRK and now their own film using Baazigar reference… this is comedy gold”.
A separate post also pointed to Dhar’s fondness for SRK’s earlier work, stating, “Aditya dhar praised Darr after dhurandhar and now the baazigar reference in #Dhurandhar2 Dhar knows how to cook Shah Rukh Khan haters and entire RW it cell”.
