ACCORDING TO THE http://WWW.PINKVILLA.COM

The film Dhurandhar is currently creating a massive impact at the box office. Within just 7 to 10 days of its release, the movie has earned nearly ₹350 crore, breaking several major box-office records. However, amid this tremendous success, some disappointing news has emerged. Reports indicate that Dhurandhar has been banned in several countries.
About the Film Dhurandhar
Dhurandhar is a high-octane action thriller directed by Aditya Dhar. The film is inspired by a real-life mission carried out by India’s intelligence agencies. The storyline follows Indian spy agents who enter Pakistan to successfully complete a highly dangerous mission. The movie powerfully portrays the bravery, strategy, and sacrifice of Indian intelligence officers. It also explores political tensions, terrorism, and strained diplomatic relations between India and enemy nations.
Reason Behind the Ban
The controversy surrounding Dhurandhar stems from its depiction of terrorism in Pakistan. The film showcases gang warfare and political dynamics in Karachi’s Lyari area and highlights Pakistan-sponsored terrorism. Due to this portrayal, Pakistan and several allied nations have reportedly banned the film, labeling it as anti-Pakistan in nature.
Countries Where Dhurandhar Is Banned
According to reports, Dhurandhar has not been released in several Gulf and neighboring countries, including:
- Pakistan
- Bahrain
- Kuwait
- Saudi Arabia
- United Arab Emirates (UAE)
Bollywood Hungama, citing industry sources, reported that the film did not receive clearance for theatrical release in these regions. This outcome was largely anticipated, as films based on similar geopolitical themes have faced restrictions in Gulf countries in the past.

Failed Attempts for Gulf Release
The makers of Dhurandhar made significant efforts to secure a release across Gulf nations. However, despite these attempts, the film failed to obtain approval. As a result, Dhurandhar was not released in any Gulf country. Previously, films such as Fighter (Hrithik Roshan), Sky Force (Akshay Kumar), and The Diplomat (John Abraham) faced similar bans in these regions.
Box Office Performance Despite the Ban
Despite being banned in several countries, Dhurandhar has delivered an outstanding performance domestically and in other international markets. The film has received a strong audience response, particularly during its second weekend, when collections saw a significant jump. During the second weekend alone, the film earned ₹112 crore, taking its total India collection to approximately ₹360 crore. With this achievement, Dhurandhar has broken multiple box-office records and established itself as a major blockbuster.
Final Verdict
Even with restrictions in key overseas markets, Dhurandhar continues to dominate the box office, proving that strong content and audience support can overcome international hurdles.
