New Delhi:
The first look of Ajay Devgn’s Chauhaan was unveiled yesterday and it has led to a meme fest on social media. From calling it a “propaganda” film to comparing it to films like Dhurandhar, Kashmir Files and The Kerala Story, reactions have poured in.
Internet Reactions
One internet user wrote, “This is what happens when propaganda films like Dhurandhar, Kashmir Files and The Kerala Story are promoted. They turn hate into business. When hate takes over, art and creativity die. Everyone is trying to become India’s Leni Riefenstahl. #CHAUHAAN is just another propaganda (sic).”

One person referenced youth support for Ajay Devgn in Singham Again in 2024, “Pathar maarna old fashioned hai sir, yeh naye Bharat ka naya Kashmir hai, hum sabh aapke saath hain” (Pelting stones is old-fashioned, sir; this is the new Kashmir of a new India, and we all stand with you). They added, “Ajay Devgn in Chauhaan in 2026: 35,000 crore ka investment. Uske baad bhi, pathar ka jawab nahi” (An investment of 35,000 crore. Yet, there is no response to the stone-pelting). “Pick a lane (sic).”
One person considered Chauhaan to be an open challenge to Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan, owing to the dialogue in the teaser, “Pathaanon se kehna, Chauhaan aa raha hai”.
They wrote, “Is superstar #AjayDevgn throwing an OPEN CHALLENGE to another superstar #ShahRukhKhan? ‘PATHAAN ko bolna #CHAUHAAN aa raha hai.’ What a cracker of a title announcement by @ajaydevgn & Jio Studios – BLOCKBUSTER material.”

One user also had Salman Khan in the mix, “After the #Chauhaan announcement, my respect for Salman Khan has grown even more. Delivering 15+ blockbusters without propaganda, corporate bookings, Deepika or adult content is something that’s nearly impossible in today’s era. That’s why he is the biggest superstar in India! (sic)”
“First #Pathaan ruled the box office, and now #AjayDevgn is arriving as #Chauhaan to create absolute mayhem! That last dialogue, “Pathaanon se kehna Chauhaan aa raha hai”, is tailored for the single screens! “@ajaydevgn & #AanandLRai are cooking a historical mass entertainer. Blockbuster loading! @jiostudios,” defended another fan.
