Habib Jan Baloch, a lawyer and Baloch nationalist leader, said in the video that he has seen ‘Dhurandhar’ twice. When asked by the reporter about the character, he said, “I will not say anything about the character, it is like this in films. It would have been better if there were more songs in it. But what Pakistan could not do, Bollywood did it. Thank you Bollywood!”

‘Real portrayal of Rahman dacoit’

Habib believes that the real Rahman dacoit was not a villain, but a protector of the local people. He said that Rehman and his relative Uzair Baloch together kept Karachi safe. If he had not been there, the situation would have been worse.

Rehman is shown in a negative role in the film, but Habib has taken it in a positive way that Bollywood presented this story to the world.
