Directed by Aditya Dhar, the action film 'Dhurandhar' has garnered immense success at the box office, setting new records. Following its theatrical release, the film has also become a global trend on Netflix. However, a surprising development has emerged from Pakistan, where the film is being widely pirated despite its official ban. Reports indicate that in cities like Karachi, locals are purchasing the film at trivial prices through illegal channels, reflecting a significant appetite for Indian cinema in the region.

A travel YouTuber and blogger, Karl Rock, has brought to light the underground piracy network in Pakistan through his vlog. He visited the 'Rainbow Center' in Karachi's Saddar market, known as a major hub for pirated films and gaming in the country. Karl documented his observation of the film 'Dhurandhar' being sold openly in this marketplace, illustrating the extent of piracy that thrives despite legal restrictions.

This situation raises questions about the impact of black market activities on the film industry, especially in a country that has a complex relationship with Indian media. The demand for 'Dhurandhar' highlights a clear desire among Pakistani audiences for Indian films, suggesting that even in the face of bans, cultural connections across borders remain strong, driving illegal yet enthusiastic consumption of popular media.
