Ajay Devgn just dropped a first look that's got the entire internet talking.

According to NDTV Movies, fans are comparing the film to Rohit Shetty's classic action flick Dhurandhar, with some declaring the original action star is back. The internet response to Devgn's swagger in the promo materials has been intense.

But reaction is mixed. Some X users are labelling Chauhaan as "propaganda" cinema, drawing comparisons to The Kashmir Files and The Kerala Story—two films that sparked significant cultural debate and controversy.

Team Devgn is hyping the raw action energy and his commanding screen presence. Critics are questioning the film's narrative intent before it has hit theatres.

Ajay Devgn knows how to command attention. Whether audiences show up for the action or stay away over thematic concerns, Chauhaan is already generating pre-release buzz.

The film is positioned as a hard-hitting action vehicle in Devgn's core territory—stunts, intensity, and one-liners. The Dhurandhar comparison suggests filmmakers are tapping the nostalgic action-hero energy from the 90s and 2000s.

With this much chatter before release, Chauhaan could become one of those divisive Bollywood moments where box office numbers tell a different story than Twitter discourse.
