The incident highlights the ongoing challenge of cross-border piracy and the high demand for Indian cinema in the region. ‘Dhurandhar 2’ Twitter Review: Ranveer Singh an Acting Maestro As Sher-E-Baloch in Aditya Dhar’s Sequel; Fans Call Movie ‘Lethal, Unapologetic Cinema’.

‘Dhurandhar 2’ Goes Viral Across Pakistan

The sequel to the 2025 blockbuster Dhurandhar, which features Ranveer Singh as an undercover Indian spy, has become an immediate sensation on illegal streaming platforms. Evidence of the film's unauthorised reach came to light when Pakistani journalist Khalid Mehmood Khalid posted a clip on X (formerly Twitter) showing himself watching the movie in Lahore.

In the viral post, Khalid captioned the video, "Watching Dhurandhar 2 in Lahore," while tagging Indian journalist Aditya Raj Kaul. The clip, which has garnered over 250,000 views, shows a clear scene of Ranveer Singh on a television screen, complete with a watermark typical of pirated releases.

High Demand Despite Official Bans

The circulation of the film in Pakistan follows a familiar pattern for the franchise. The first instalment of Dhurandhar was also banned in Pakistan due to its themes of counter-terrorism, yet it reportedly recorded over two million illegal downloads within its first two weeks. Upon its eventual digital release, the film climbed to the top spot on Netflix Pakistan, proving that administrative restrictions have done little to dampen local curiosity.

Industry experts note that the sequel is currently tracking toward record-breaking numbers in India, having earned approximately INR 100 crore on its opening day. This massive popularity appears to have fueled an immediate "leak" across the border.

Legal Interventions in India

While the film spreads through unauthorized channels in Pakistan, Indian authorities are taking proactive measures to protect the intellectual property of the filmmakers. The Madras High Court recently issued an interim injunction against the unauthorised streaming and broadcast of Dhurandhar: The Revenge.

The court order restrains internet service providers (ISPs) and cable TV operators from illegally telecasting the film until April 15, 2026. However, enforcement remains a significant hurdle in the digital landscape, where VPNs and mirror sites allow users to bypass regional blocks with ease.
