Dhurandhar continues to dominate the Indian box office and beyond, grossing over Rs 10 billion, despite its release being postponed in Pakistan and the Gulf. While it attracts sizable audiences in its original distribution areas in the theatres, several viewers in Pakistan are reportedly figuring out how to watch it illegally online.

The movie has reportedly become the most pirated film in Pakistan, surpassing Shah Rukh Khan's Raees, with over two million illegal downloads in just two weeks.

Torrents, Telegram chats, VPN networks, and Dhurandhar's underground streaming links have taken over the internet despite strict monitoring of online activity.

Viewers in Pakistan are able to stream the movie thanks to servers that are skilled at getting around limitations. Even though the print isn't flawless and perfectly clear, audiences are interested in learning why this movie has been so successful in India.

According to sources, the extent of piracy is a reflection of both public curiosity about the movie and defiance.

Starring Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Sara Arjun, and Sanjay Dutt, Dhurandhar is a spy thriller set against the backdrop of the Lyari gang fights, the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, and the 1999 Kandahar hijacking.

The most intense criticism has been directed at Lyari's representation.

Strangely, the controversy has only increased the movie's popularity. Many Pakistani fans have publicly complimented the performances, flooding social media with clips, reels, and memes, while others contest its political message.

In addition to Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, and Rakesh Bedi, Dhurandhar stars Ranveer Singh as Hamza, an Indian spy working within Lyari to destroy extremist networks.

Additionally, the producers have already scheduled the following chapter—Dhurandhar 2—for a high-profile Eid 2026 release, indicating that the franchise is just getting started, while the first movie continues to provoke discussion across national boundaries.
