It has been a viral video that has been getting out of control, which features the explosive reaction of a Pakistani family who happened to view Dhurandhar: The Revenge (Dhurandhar 2) in one of the UK theaters. In the clip, the family members term the Ranveer Singh-starrer as third-class and bakwaas, criticizing its content, depiction, and storyline. Stunningly, they sing several times "Major Iqbal Zindabad," applauding the ruthless villain (in the film, played by Arjun Rampal, and based on actual terrors like Ilyas Kashmiri) in the film as a hero. Others even voice their approval of the continued attempts against India, which causes strong disapproval with the Indian netizens, who refer to it as evidence of the radicalized mindsets. The video has been widely circulated on Instagram, X, and Reddit and spawned a number of heated debates, memes, and outrage about interracial ideas of terrorism. Although the Dhurandhar series is based on the actual operations against Lyari gangs and the anti-India forces, this response reflects the unseen tensions. There has not been an official commentary on the side of filmmakers, but the clip is still trending amid the divided opinions.
