Karachi: Aditya Dhar’s ‘Dhurandhar’ has ignited a sharp debate in India and across the border, where much of the story is set. Pakistani critics and social media users claim that the film contains several factual inaccuracies and that the makers have taken significant creative liberties.

Released on 5 December, the high-octane spy thriller is directed and written by Dhar. With Ranveer Singh in the lead, the film follows covert intelligence operations linked to major geopolitical and terror incidents such as the Kandahar plane hijack, the 2001 Parliament attack and the 26/11 Mumbai attacks.

The film, which has received polarising reactions in India, is largely set in Lyari town in Karachi, an area historically associated with gang wars and violent turf battles.
