Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar Spotted In Pakistan’s Pirated Market, Sold At THIS Amount

Despite a theatrical ban in Pakistan and several Gulf nations due to its sensitive geopolitical themes, Ranveer Singh’s blockbuster espionage thriller Dhurandhar has found a massive underground audience across the border.

Following its January 30, 2026 debut on Netflix, where it swiftly climbed to #1 in Pakistan, the film has now surfaced in the physical pirated markets of Karachi at an incredibly low price point.

The Karachi “DVD” Discovery

New Zealand-based YouTuber Karl Rock recently shared a viral video from Karachi’s famous Rainbow Centre, documenting the film’s unexpected physical presence:

The Price: Pirated DVDs of the film are being sold for just PKR 50 (approximately ₹16).
The “Sindhi” Connection: During the video, Rock noted that Ranveer Singh himself is of Sindhi descent, with grandparents who migrated from Karachi to India during the 1947 Partition.
The Demand: Despite the official 2019 ban on Indian films in Pakistani cinemas, vendors confirmed that Dhurandhar is currently their “most requested” recent title.

A Global Streaming Powerhouse

The piracy surge follows the film’s record-breaking digital run. According to Netflix’s global data for early February 2026:

#1 Globally: The film topped the global Top 10 non-English films list with 15.8 million views within its first 10 days of streaming.
Middle East Dominance: Despite being “de facto” banned in the Gulf (UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman), it is currently the #1 trending movie on Netflix in those regions.
Box Office Context: Directed by Aditya Dhar, the film earned over ₹1,349 crore during its theatrical run, which began on December 5, 2025.

The Franchise Future: Dhurandhar 2

The saga of undercover agent Jaskirat Singh Rangi (alias Hamza Ali Mazari) is set to continue soon.

Release Date: Dhurandhar: The Revenge is scheduled for a theatrical release on March 19, 2026.
Pre-Release Success: The sequel has already earned ₹245 crore through non-theatrical rights (Digital, Satellite, and Music) before even hitting screens.
