Vidyut Jammwal’s Hollywood debut in Street Fighter X has turned heads. The Indian martial artist, known for his Kalaripayattu mastery and physical prowess, steps into the role of Dhalsim — the stretchy, mystical fighter, bringing both authenticity and flair to the screen. His performance has become the talk of social media, with fans on X (formerly Twitter) declaring he overshadows even seasoned Hollywood co-stars like Noah Centineo and Jason Momoa.
"Vidyut Jammwal totally overshadows his Hollywood co-stars," one user wrote. "It’s sad to see that Bollywood never gave him the platform or opportunities he actually deserved." Another called his portrayal "an absolute masterpiece," crediting his real-life flexibility and training for making Dhalsim feel alive.
Director Kitao Sakurai’s take on the iconic video game blends anime sequences with high-octane action, delivering short, punchy fight scenes that highlight each character’s unique traits. The Free Press Journal reviewer awarded the film four stars, praising its energy and accessibility: "Even if you didn't play the video game, check it out." The movie is described as enjoyable, funny, and packed with kinetic moments. Ideal for a theatrical experience.
