As Dhurandhar continues its record-breaking run at the box office, the Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna-starrer has found an unexpected promotional boost from social media, courtesy of a viral street performance from Delhi that has left netizens thoroughly entertained.
A 62-second video shared by X user @imashishsrrk on December 23 shows a middle-aged man in a striped shirt passionately singing Punjabi folk lyrics like “Nade dil pardeshi” on a busy Delhi street at night. Surrounded by honking autos, passing bikes, and the usual chaos of the capital, the man dances energetically while belting out the song at full volume.
Adding to the humour, pink text overlaid on the video jokingly reads, “Looks like I downloaded the WRONG Dhurandhar title track,”
poking fun at the film’s intense spy-thriller image. The contrast between the raw, unfiltered street performance and the slick Bollywood production became the clip’s biggest hook.

Internet Can’t Get Enough Of ‘Kidney-Touching’ Performance
The performer’s unshakeable confidence quickly won over viewers. At one point, he even flashes a mobile number, suggesting he’s available for singing gigs, a moment that sparked loud laughter online. The video amassed nearly 29,000 views within hours.
Comments poured in praising his energy and fearlessness. “Uncle can eat 1000 introverts in breakfast,” read one viral comment. Another joked, “It took me 23 seconds to figure out what he is singing.” Others dubbed it a “kidney-touching performance,” while one user quipped that if music director Rehman Dakait heard him, he’d “open a band-baaja shop.”
Meme Culture Meets Bollywood Hype
Shared from an SRK fan account, the clip perfectly blends street folklore with Bollywood buzz. It highlights how user-generated humour has become a parallel marketing force for films, especially on platforms like X, where memes often travel faster than trailers.
The video’s timing couldn’t have been better, arriving just as Dhurandhar continues to dominate theatres nationwide.
