New Delhi, 12 December 2025: Ranveer Singh’s new action-drama, Dhurandhar, has received a lot of responses in Pakistan. The film has made Pakistani viewers anxious by showing high-stakes war situations between India and Pakistan. This made people ask the governments of six countries in the UAE to stop the film from coming out.
Why People in Pakistan Are Worried
The movie shows the Indian Army’s better tactics, more advanced combat technology, and better planning against their enemies. In several intense scenes, Indian troops are shown outsmarting their enemies. Many people in Pakistan think this is “demoralising” for their military’s image. There were a lot of posts on social media like, “How will Asim Munir’s army face this?” The movie really scares Pakistan.
Gulf Authorities’ Calls
The people of Pakistan are now asking the governments of the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and other Gulf countries not to show the film. They say that how it shows the Pakistani military might change people’s opinions in other countries, making Pakistan look bad. Online campaigns and hashtags that are trending show that people in these areas are becoming more worried.
Movies and Geopolitics
While directors say Dhurandhar is just for fun, the argument shows how films can change the way people see countries. Experts say that films about the military can make people in countries that have had problems with each other respond strongly.
Dhurandhar is no longer just a film; it has become a subject of social and political argument
The film will be one of the most talked-about films of the year as national pride, artistic freedom, and regional feelings are discussed more and more as it comes out in India and around the world.
