Bollywood’s New Flick ‘Dhurandhar’ Sparks Controversy
Bollywood’s latest action-packed film, ‘Dhurandhar,’ has landed itself in hot water after the release of its much-hyped trailer. The film, starring Ranveer Singh as a daring RAW agent and Arjun Rampal as a steely Major, draws criticism for its depiction of Karachi’s Lyari district. Instead of the vibrant, bustling neighborhood it is, Lyari gets portrayed as a war-torn conflict zone, brimming with hostility and danger.
Indian Audiences Join the Roast
Interestingly, the loudest boos aren’t coming from across the border—they’re coming from India itself. Social media erupted with memes and jokes, as viewers called out the film’s over-the-top dramatization and lack of research. Many netizens pointed out that Lyari, while famous for its energy and sports culture, is hardly the battlefield shown in the movie.
Is it just us, or do Bollywood filmmakers have a secret map where every Pakistani neighborhood looks like a Call of Duty map? If only they could Google before greenlighting scripts! It’s yet another reminder that a little authenticity goes a long way—and that Twitter never misses an opportunity for a good roast.
