Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar hit screens on December 5, 2025, riding high on promises of explosive action and taut espionage. Its international journey, however, quickly grew turbulent. The film was denied release in six GCC nations - Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE - amid concerns that its narrative could be perceived as “anti-Pakistan.”

Banned, Yet Unignorable
Pakistan too joined the list of countries banning the film. Yet, in a twist of cultural irony, Dhurandhar continues to spark fascination across the border. From viral wedding reels to energetic dance performances, the film’s music and imagery have seeped into social media feeds, defying official restrictions.
Wedding Beats Go Viral
The latest clip to storm the internet reportedly shows two Pakistani girls dancing enthusiastically to Dhurandhar’s item song Shararat. Dressed in embroidered sharara outfits - one in blue, the other multicoloured - the duo confidently performs before a cheering wedding audience, drawing applause as they nail the hook steps.
While the exact origin of the video and the claims around it remain unverified, the clip has spread rapidly, triggering surprise, admiration and debate among netizens.

Cultural Irony and Viral Buzz
Ironically, the controversies that blocked the film from cinemas only amplified its underground appeal. Memes, reels and music clips ensured Dhurandhar stayed firmly etched in public consciousness.
In a digital age without borders, Dhurandhar proves that bans may redirect a film’s path, but rarely diminish its reach.
