When Dhurandhar released in late 2025, many viewers praised director Aditya Dhar for his sharp eye for detail and grounded spy storytelling. Months later, that same praise has turned into one of the funniest meme trends on the Indian internet. What started as genuine appreciation for subtle visual clues and cultural references has now become full blown satire.

Social media users are deliberately overanalysing ordinary scenes and calling them “Peak Detailing by Aditya Dhar.” The joke is simple. Take any random moment from the film and describe it as if it carries deep hidden meaning. The result has turned Dhurandhar into an unexpected meme festival.

Early viewers genuinely admired how Dhar built atmosphere in Dhurandhar. Small things stood out. Colour choices. Body language. The way Hamza prepares a drink slowly before a tense moment. The use of patience and observation as themes through the film.

One user on X said, “Look how Hamza makes juice calmly before the mission. This is Dhar showing sabr and nazar without saying it loudly.” These posts were serious. People felt Dhar had layered the film carefully, much like his earlier work in Uri. But once Dhurandhar landed on Netflix and a wider audience began rewatching scenes, the tone changed.






Viewers started noticing plot gaps, exaggerated realism and slightly awkward moments. That is when the phrase “Peak Detailing by Aditya Dhar” stopped being praise and became a punchline.

People flipped from admiration to mockery

The shift happened because the internet loves exaggeration. When too many people began crediting every small movement as genius, others joined in to make fun of that habit.

Viewers pointed out how Ranveer Singh’s character easily passes as a local in Lyari. Some joked about stiff expressions from supporting actors. Others felt parts of Pakistan shown in the film looked like they were imagined from forwarded messages rather than lived reality.

One user on X wrote, “Hamza blending in perfectly is Peak Detailing by Aditya Dhar because nobody in Lyari questions anything ever.” The joke was born. Instead of arguing seriously, people chose humour. They used the same praise format to highlight what they felt were flaws.

The funniest ‘Peak Detailing by Aditya Dhar’ memes going viral

Here is where the trend truly shines. The memes have become more creative and more absurd by the day. A viral post read, “The title card says Dhurandhar because the movie name is Dhurandhar. Peak Detailing by Aditya Dhar.”






Another joked, “A character breathes in a scene. Peak writing by Aditya Dhar.” One meme claimed Hamza avoids biryani in Pakistan because the best biryani is in Kolkata. Peak detailing by Aditya Dhar.'






A user said a character picking up two objects in one frame was Dhar hinting there will be Dhurandhar 2. Someone pointed out a background shop named Washma Butt and called it Dhar secretly planting meme culture inside the film.






A Reddit post joked that Hamza watching a 3D movie without glasses shows how adults understand cinema better. One user on X said, “At this point Dhar himself must be confused what masterpiece he accidentally created.”

Dhurandhar sequel teaser made the trend explode

When the teaser for Dhurandhar 2 dropped, the meme trend doubled in speed. People went back to the first film to “find clues” for the sequel.

Suddenly, every dialogue line, every eye movement, every prop in the background became supposed proof that Dhar had planned two films from the start.

One user on X wrote, “Ranveer opens both eyes in this shot. Two eyes. Dhurandhar 2 confirmed. Peak Detailing by Aditya Dhar.” The humour works because everyone knows it is nonsense. That shared understanding makes it funnier.

Even Aditya Dhar has reacted

Aditya Dhar has responded to some discussions online, especially around technical aspects like weapon handling and realism. His calm replies added more fuel to the joke.






People began saying, “Dhar is politely explaining things while we are inventing meanings he never thought of.” The trend now sits in a sweet spot where fans, critics and casual viewers are all laughing together.

'Peak detailing moment' trend lives on

This is not just trolling. It shows how audiences today interact with films beyond watching them. Dhurandhar has become part of internet meme culture. Instead of heated debates, people chose humour to express both admiration and criticism. The film has gained a second life online. Many are rewatching scenes just to create new jokes.

One user on Reddit said, “I am rewatching Dhurandhar not for the story but to find Peak Detailing moments.” That says everything.
