Manav Gohil on Dhurandhar memes & social media trends: Times are changing..
"Yes, I have seen it, and I think times are changing. - Manav Gohil"

Mumbai, March 29

Actor Manav Gohil, who plays the role of Sushant Bansal, the Deputy Director of the Intelligence Bureau in Aditya Dhar's "Dhurandhar" opened up about the memes and social media trends surrounding the blockbuster.

Speaking exclusively to IANS, Manav said that "Dhurandhar" represents a more evolved form of cinema. He added that the viewers nowadays value meaningful cinema, which is not made to simply make profits.

He was asked, "Your recent work in Dhurandhar has received a lot of appreciation. Have you seen the audience reactions, especially memes and social media trends?"

Confirming that he has, in fact, seen the memes and trends made on the various characters and scenes of the "Dhurandhar" franchise, Manav said, "Yes, I have seen it, and I think times are changing. Dhurandhar represents a more global and evolved form of cinema. Audiences today are more aware, and they do not appreciate films made purely for profit."

He added that "Dhurandhar" could be seen as the start of a new era of filmmaking in Bollywood, which he hopes would continue in the times to come.

"It is important to create meaningful and honest cinema that truly entertains. There are no shortcuts or gimmicks anymore. I believe this could be the beginning of a new era in filmmaking, and I sincerely hope it continues," added Manav.

In an example of the massive 'Dhurandhar' impact, an image of an Accounts exam paper featuring characters from the film recently circulated on social media.

According to the photo, one of the questions from the question paper read, "Jameel Jamali, SP Chaudhary, Aslan, and Yalina Jamali share profits and losses of the firm equally. SP Chaudhary retires from the business. What would be the new profit-sharing ratio?"

Starring Ranveer Singh, R. Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, Sara Arjun, Arjun Rampal, and Rakesh Bedi, "Dhurandhar" has taken the box office by storm.

While I appreciate the sentiment, calling it the start of a "new era" feels a bit premature. We've had meaningful films before. The real test is if this becomes the norm, not the exception. Hope Bollywood doesn't just chase this trend and then go back to formulaic movies in a year.

The exam question is hilarious! 😂 It shows the film's cultural penetration. Manav Gohil's character was superb. When actors and stories resonate this much, memes are the ultimate fan tribute. Times are indeed changing for the better.

As someone who watches both Hollywood and Bollywood, it's refreshing to see Indian cinema aiming for this global, evolved standard. The audience is definitely more aware and critical now. Profit-driven remakes and sequels won't cut it anymore.

True that! The days of "paisa vasool" mindless action are fading. People want substance with their style. Dhurandhar delivered that. Hope other filmmakers take note. More films like this, please!
