Dhurandhar 2 has emerged as a major box office success, becoming one of the biggest Bollywood hits of Eid. The film has collected massive revenues within a short span and continues to perform strongly.
However, the film has also sparked a heated debate online. While some viewers call it a nationalist film, others label it as propaganda that may create divisions among communities.
A section of the audience has raised concerns about the portrayal of Pakistan in the film. They feel the negative depiction and themes of conflict are not appropriate.
At the same time, those questioning the film are being criticised by strong supporters. Many fans have dismissed such opinions and defended the film’s intent.
The controversy has now taken a new turn with claims related to payments made to Pakistani musicians. A social media user alleged that the film indirectly benefited Pakistan financially.
Since the story is set around Pakistan, the makers included elements of local culture, especially music. To ensure authenticity, they reportedly acquired rights to certain Pakistani songs.
According to claims online, over $50,000 was paid to obtain rights for tracks like Hawa Hawa and Jaan Se Guzarte Hain. This has surprised some viewers who supported the film’s theme.
Critics argue that such payments could benefit the Pakistani music industry. They also question where this money might eventually be used.
These claims have added another layer to the ongoing debate. Some netizens believe that any financial link with Pakistan raises concerns, especially in the current sensitive environment.
At the same time, there is no official confirmation regarding these claims. The discussion largely remains driven by social media reactions and differing opinions.
Overall, Dhurandhar 2 continues to dominate both the box office and online conversations. The film has now become a mix of commercial success and controversy.
Aditya Dhar paid around $50,000 to acquire two Pakistani songs for his film Dhurandhar.
