The release of superstar Yash’s highly anticipated action film Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, directed by Geetu Mohandas, has generated immense chatter across the internet. However, alongside the mixed audience reviews and critical feedback on the film’s narrative, a short social media post by veteran filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has stolen the spotlight. Taking to his X (formerly Twitter) account right as initial reviews for Toxic began pouring in, RGV simply wrote, “Now watching #Dhurandhar again”. Though the outspoken director provided no further context or explicit mention of Yash’s film, netizens immediately connected the dots, sparking widespread speculation that RGV was taking an indirect, witty swipe at Toxic by preferring Aditya Dhar’s blockbusting action saga Dhurandhar instead.
Social media users quickly reacted to the timing of RGV’s post, with many calling it a classic, deliberate move to stir the pot during a major film launch. Prior to the release of Toxic, Ram Gopal Varma had been an ardent admirer of Dhurandhar, famously calling it a “quantum leap” for Indian cinema and praising its realistic narrative over conventional hero-elevation tactics. He had previously weighed in on the potential box-office clash between the two projects, comparing their cinematic styles. Fans flooded RGV’s comment section with humorous replies, with several netizens commenting that the filmmaker roasted Toxic without even naming it, while others debated whether revisiting Dhurandhar was his way of cleansing his palette. While Toxic continues its theatrical run with strong box-office numbers despite divided opinion, RGV’s simple six-word post has successfully ignited a fresh online debate surrounding modern action filmmaking.
