The Indian action spy thriller 'Dhurandhar' has taken the box office by storm in India, but its impact goes beyond borders. Several viewers from Pakistan have watched the film and shared their positive reactions. Actor Naveen Kaushik, who played the character of Donga in the film, attributes the Pakistani audience's enthusiasm to the movie's portrayal of real-life situations without targeting any particular community. In an interview with Live Hindustan, Naveen explained that the Pakistani audience has appreciated the film's honest depiction of corruption and the misuse of power, which has led to attacks on India.

According to Naveen, the Pakistani audience has identified with the film's message and is praising its portrayal of the challenges faced by India. The success of 'Dhurandhar' has sparked interest in the possibility of its release in Pakistan. While there is no official confirmation, the film's impact on the Pakistani audience is undeniable.
