# Paresh Rawal's Epic Clapback: "Didn't Smoke, But Broke Phones!" – The Uri vs. Dhurandhar Showdown Ever wondered how a simple fan tweet could spark a hilarious Bollywood roast? Paresh Rawal just delivered gold with his witty response to comparisons between his iconic **Ajit Doval-inspired role** in *Uri: The Surgical Strike* and R. Madhavan's character in the blockbuster *Dhurandhar* series.[1][2] Picture this: An X user shares a still from *Uri* (2019), praising Paresh Rawal as NSA Govind Bhardwaj with the caption, "I quite liked @SirPareshRawal as Ajit Doval in Uri The Surgical Strike! Except that they didn't show him smoke in the film."[1][2] Fans were quick to link it to the controversy around Madhavan's chainsmoking intelligence officer, Ajay Sanyal, in Aditya Dhar's *Dhurandhar* (2025) and its sequel *Dhurandhar: The Revenge* (2026) – both massive hits grossing over ₹1,000 crore each.[1][5] Replying with his signature humor, Paresh quipped, **"Yes dint smoke but only broke the phones 😂"** – a nod to his memorable scene where he smashes phones in a high-stakes moment.[1][2] This isn't just a funny comeback; it's a masterclass in Bollywood legacy. Both films by director Aditya Dhar celebrate real-life heroes like National Security Advisor **Ajit Doval**. Paresh set the bar in *Uri*, playing the balding, no-nonsense spy chief who helps "win the war."[1][3][4] Madhavan's version amps up the intensity with terror camp strikes, but Paresh's phone-smashing edge had fans cheering: "Phones had it coming!" and "Best Doval ever."[1] Even as *Dhurandhar 2* packs theaters post its March 19 release, Paresh reminds us why he's the king of savage replies.[1]
