A new Bollywood film is dividing opinions in India and Pakistan
A Bollywood spy film titled "Dhurandhar" starring Ranveer Singh as an Indian spy in Pakistan has stirred controversy in both India and Pakistan due to its portrayal of historical tensions between the two countries. Directed by Aditya Dhar, known for his previous war drama "Uri: The Surgical Strike," the film has sparked sharp debates over its political messaging and use of violence amidst a backdrop of India-Pakistan relations. Despite polarized reactions, "Dhurandhar" has attracted large audiences and is one of the year's biggest hits, reflecting a trend in Indian cinema towards nationalist blockbusters that touch on sensitive historical and political themes.
