Mumbai: Ranveer Singh’s recent hit film ‘Dhurandhar’ remains a topic of discussion these days. This espionage thriller is set in the Lyari area of Karachi, Pakistan, where gang warfare was at its peak in the early 2000s. In the film, Akshaye Khanna plays a gangster named Rehman Dacoit, who is inspired by a notorious real-life criminal. Recently, a viral video has caught everyone’s attention, in which Dacoit Rahman’s old friend Habib Jan Baloch is praising the film.
Reaction to Habib John Baloch’s film
Habib Jan Baloch, a lawyer and Baloch nationalist leader, shared his views on Rehman’s portrayal in the film in the video. He said that he has seen ‘Dhurandhar’ twice and said, ‘I will not say anything on the character, this happens in films. It would have been better if it had more songs. But what Pakistan could not do, Bollywood did. Thank you Bollywood!’

According to Habib, the real Rahman dacoit was not a villain, but a hero. He said that Rehman and his relative Uzair Baloch together kept Karachi safe. If they had not been there, the situation would have been even worse. This video is spreading rapidly on social media, and many people are considering it as the subject of a new debate between India and Pakistan. Rehman is shown in a negative role in the film, but Habib took it positively that Bollywood presented this story to the world.
