Summary
The Paresh Rawal controversy has drawn attention online after the actor responded sharply to a social media post reviewing Dhurandhar: The Revenge. The exchange has since triggered mixed reactions, even as the Ranveer Singh-led film continues to perform strongly at the box office.
The controversy began after RJ Sayema shared a reel on X, featuring a sarcastic take on the film’s review.

It was pointed out by users that Sayema was not a reporter, while some comments reflected disappointment in the actor’s response. Others used the moment to comment more broadly on how public figures engage with criticism online.
