Dhurandhar Trend: Makers Celebrating Terrorists?

Dhurandhar controversy trends online

Dhurandhar continues to perform strongly at the box office weeks after its release, with renewed attention driven by online discussions. The trend gained momentum after influencer Dhruv Rathee released a video analysing the film and its portrayal of certain characters.

In the video, Dhruv Rathee highlighted how characters such as Rehman Dakait are being praised for screen presence and personality. He questioned the celebration of such figures despite their depiction as terrorists within the narrative of the film.

Another user pointed out that Rehman Dakait and Uzair Baloch are shown as terrorists linked to events surrounding the 26/11 attacks. The user criticised how these characters are receiving public attention and admiration across social media platforms.

Concerns were also raised about posts from the official Jio Studios channels. Users noted that actor names were missing in several promotional posts, focusing instead on the characters and their on-screen personas.

The debate widened as users recalled earlier claims branding the film as propaganda. Some questioned why similar voices are now upset over smaller promotional choices involving Rehman Dakait and Uzair Baloch.

One user defended the makers by comparing a birthday post for the fictional character to celebrating Robert De Niro despite his role as Vito Corleone. Others argued that this comparison ignores the sensitive context surrounding real-life terror references.

Several comments suggested that supporters of Dhruv Rathee remain divided on whether Dhurandhar is propaganda or a film that glorifies terrorists. As the discussion grows louder, the controversy continues to draw attention back to the film itself.
