Ranveer Singh starrer Dhurandhar: The Revenge, directed by Aditya Dhar, is continuing to trend across social media, with its impact now going beyond film discussions. The story and its characters are being widely interpreted in different ways online.
Recently a LinkedIn post has gone viral for linking the film’s storyline into practical observations about office politics. Shared by user Ishu Sharma, the post presents ‘5 Corporate lessons I learned from Dhurandhar 2’, using characters from the film to explain common workplace behaviours.
Highlighting the need for caution in professional relationships, she pointed to how trust can sometimes be misplaced in office settings. She wrote, “Never trust anyone blindly in the office, like Uzair Baloch trusted Hamza. You may think they’re helping you, but they might actually be trapping you.”
Drawing attention to office dynamics where not everyone is as they appear, she described a common type of colleague found in many workplaces. She added, “There’s always an employee like Jameel Jamali who shares all information with the boss while pretending to be your good friend in the group.”
Speaking about handling difficult personalities at work, she suggested not taking certain behaviours too seriously. She further explained, “Some people are like Major Iqbal, they maintain strong aura in the office but have no respect at home. So, if they frustrate you over silly things, don’t take them seriously.”
Focusing on the importance of guidance and mentorship, she noted that some seniors play a key role in shaping careers. She noted, “There are few seniors like Ajay Sanyal who understand your full potential for your own good, so take their advice and guidance seriously.”
Ending on a lighter note, she spoke about supportive colleagues who make the workplace more manageable. She concluded, “There are some cutie pooties like Alam and Yalina who compromise for you, these are your corporate besties, so never leave them.”
The post has received wide praise with users responding to its comparisons and sharing their own experiences. One user commented, “Wow…great comparison”
Another wrote, “Nice narratives. The main character of the film, Hamza (played by Ranveer Singh), should not be forgotten. Hamza, the film’s pivotal character, powerfully embodies sacrifices for nation over family. His inspiring journey highlights the essential virtues of hard work, smart strategies, patience, courage, and resilience. These qualities are important for every individual to achieve a successful personal and professional life.”
