Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar is gaining massive attention beyond India, despite being banned in Pakistan. The film has reportedly become the most pirated title in present day Pakistan, crossing over one million downloads and sparking widespread discussion across digital platforms.
Media reports claim the film has surpassed earlier piracy records held by titles like 2017’s Raees and 2018’s 2.0. Within just a week, Dhurandhar emerged as the most pirated Bollywood film in the country, highlighting its unexpected cross border reach.
The situation has worsened due to bans in several Gulf countries as well. With no official release, piracy reportedly surged through VPN usage, torrent sites, underground streams, and Telegram channels, allowing the film to circulate illegally at a large scale.
As per reports, the lack of overseas release has allegedly caused losses between Rs 50 to 70 crores in international revenue. This has turned piracy into a serious financial setback for the makers, despite the film’s strong audience demand.
Even so, film commentators point out that Dhurandhar’s cultural impact remains undeniable. Its widespread circulation has strengthened the soft power of Indian cinema, proving that influence often goes beyond official box office numbers.
The film’s viral presence also shows how powerful cinema continues to spark global conversations. While Dhurandhar faces scrutiny for its political themes, audiences remain curious about how it is being perceived worldwide.
Released on December 5, 2025, Dhurandhar continues to perform strongly at the Indian box office. At the same time, its international buzz keeps growing, driven by debate, controversy, and sustained public interest.
