However, not everyone was amused. Some Pakistani users criticised the act of watching a pirated Indian film. “Absolutely no shame, watching a pirated film that demeans Pakistan, right in Lahore,” one comment read.

Several users also responded with memes. One joked, “Darr nahi, Dhar ka mahol hai,” while another wrote, “Karachi ki barbadi Lahore mein dekh raha hai.”

Dhurandhar 2

Dhurandhar 2 released in theatres on March 19, with paid preview shows held a day earlier. While most Hindi shows ran on time, the Tamil and Telugu screenings were delayed until 9 pm, and the Kannada and Malayalam shows were pushed to the next morning due to technical glitches. Despite these issues, the film recorded an impressive Day 0 collection of Rs 43 crore, while its Day 1 earnings crossed Rs 102.55 crore.

The film is the sequel to the first part, which was released in December last year and has so far minted Rs 1300 crore.
