REVEALED: Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar banned in all | Indian Movie News
The Ranveer Singh-starrer Dhurandhar is having a great run at the box workplace, not just in India but also overseas. In 4 days, it has managed to accumulate a big Rs. 44.08 crores abroad. This determine may have been more if the motion entertainer had discovered a release in the Gulf nations or the UAE /GCC belt.
A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE have not released Dhurandhar. There were apprehensions that this would happen as the film is perceived as an ‘anti-Pakistan film’. Also, in the past, such films have failed to procure a release in this region. Yet, the team of Dhurandhar made an attempt, but sadly, all the countries did not approve of the theme of the film. This is why Dhurandhar hasn’t been released in any of the Gulf countries.”
Besides Ranveer Singh, Dhurandhar also stars Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sara Arjun and Rakesh Bedi. Directed by Aditya Datt, it tells the story of an Indian officer who infiltrates Pakistan and wreaks havoc in the nation’s underworld and political institution.
Past examples
The 2024 Hrithik Roshan-Deepika Padukone starrer Fighter was initially banned in all the Gulf nations initially, besides the UAE (United Arab Emirates). The movie’s depiction of the Pulwama assault sparked criticism from some sections in Pakistan, with accusations of the movie selling an “anti-Pakistan” agenda and “exploiting a sensitive issue”.
surprisingly, a day later, even the UAE suspended its release in its territory. Following this, the makers of Fighter submitted the re-edited model of the movie to the UAE ministry after eradicating some ‘problematic’ scenes and dialogues. However, the UAE ministry rejected the re-edited model of Fighter too.
Earlier this 12 months, the Akshay Kumar-starrer Sky Force and the John Abraham-starrer The Diplomat have been banned in a number of nations of the Middle East due to considerations over their content. Both these movies also dealt with Pakistan.
Article 370 (2024), which was based on the revocation of a controversial article in Kashmir, was also refused certification in GCC. Tiger 3 (2023), starring Salman Khan, was banned in Oman, Kuwait and Qatar.
The Kashmir Files (2022) was banned in a number of Gulf states. UAE initially banned it but later cleared it with an adults-only certificates.
