Dhurandhar tops Netflix charts in UAE, Bahrain, and Oman; ranks in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait after ban on its theatrical release in Gulf countries
DHURANDHAR is the story of a mysterious man who creates havoc in Pakistan. Ajay Sanyal (R Madhavan), Chief of IB, is disturbed by the 1999 Air India hijack episode and the shocking attack on the Parliament of India on December 13, 2001. In 2002, External Affairs Minister Devarat Kapoor (Akash... Khurana) accepts Ajay's proposal of Operation Dhurandhar. Accordingly, 2 years later, an Indian secret agent (Ranveer Singh) enters Pakistan and assumes the identity of Hamza Ali Mazari. He gets employed at a juice shop in the politically volatile area of Lyari, Karachi. From the juice owner Aalam (Gaurav Gera), Hamza learns that two rival gangs operate in Lyari, one is run by Babu Dakait and the other is run by Rehman Balochi aka Rehman Dakait (Akshaye Khanna). As his name suggests, Rehman is from Balochistan and Hamza also claims that he's from the same region. Hamza rescues Rehman's elder son from an attack by Babu Dakait. This helps him earn the trust of Rehman and he joins his gang. Rehman is close to local politician Jameel Jamali (Rakesh Bedi), who is insecure with the former's hold in Lyari. This motivates Jameel to bring suspended police officer S. P. Chaudhary Aslam (Sanjay Dutt) back into the force with a single motive of keeping Rehman in check. On the other hand, Rehman becomes friendly with Major Iqbal (Arjun Rampal), ISI, and happily helps the latter in his war against India. Since Hamza is a core member of Rehman's gang, he also gets first-hand information on the ISI's strategies against India. While Hamza is working for the sake of his country, he falls in love with Jameel's daughter, Yalina (Sara Arjun). What happens next forms the rest of the film.
