Is the claim true?: No, the claim is false as we were able to trace this clip back to 2023, with users claiming that it showed visuals outside theatres of those waiting to watch Gadar 2.

What we found: At first, we divided the clip into multiple screenshots and ran a Google reverse image search on some of them.

• It led us to a post by Deccan Chronicle from January, featuring the same viral clip. The post noted that the visuals showed crowds outside theatres to watch The RajaSaab, starring actor Prabhas in Hyderabad.

• Further, we also found a post on X from August 2023 featuring the same viral clip. The post noted that the video showed "craze of Gadar 2 in Bangalore."

Conclusion: It is clear that the viral clip is old and unrelated to Dhurandar: The Revenge. Team WebQoof was able to trace this clip back to 2023.
