Following the release of Dhurabdhar: The Revenge and the highly talked-about scene featuring Ranveer and Aitya, thousands of US users reported X outages. Fans jokingly blamed the movie’s hype for “breaking” the platform, flooding social media with memes and playful speculation.

With the release of Dhurabdhar: The Revenge today, excitement was palpable, but social media fans hit a snag. Shortly after an interview with X went live, the platform experienced a major outage across the US. According to Downdetector.com, over 14,000 users reported issues with X as of 11.05 a.m. ET (8.35 p.m. IST). Downdetector, which monitors outages by aggregating status reports from multiple sources, highlighted the scale of the disruption affecting thousands of users nationwide.

As X (former Twitter) went down, a user tweeted, "X down. Dhurandhar 2 effect." Another wrote, "People tried to share Dhurandhar 2 spoilers and X Down hogya. Peak Detailing Aditya Dhar sahab." Others continued to blame the crashing of X on the release of Dhurandhar 2. One wrote, "Twitter crashed because of Dhurandhar 2." Others continued to share the memes, saying, "Even X can't handle this Dhurandhar 2 madness."

Across India, users from multiple cities reported that X was down, pointing to a widespread service disruption rather than isolated technical glitches. Frustrated users flocked to other platforms, making terms like “X not working” and “Twitter outage India” trend online.

The outage quickly sparked fan speculation linking it to Dhurandhar 2. With the film generating massive hype and fans sharing spoilers online, many jokingly suggested that the viral excitement around the movie, especially key scenes and discussions, might have “overloaded” the platform. Memes and playful commentary about the film dominating X flooded social media feeds.
