Dhurandhar banned in Gulf countries

Aditya Dhar’s film has reportedly been banned from release in countries like Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Sources told Bollywood Hungama that the film is perceived as an “anti-Pakistan film.”
Inspired by incredible true stories, Dhurandhar revolves around an Indian spy who is sent across the border on a mission called Dhurandhar. After the 2001 Indian Parliament attack, director Ajay Sanyal (R. Madhavan) is allowed to execute his plans to infiltrate the terror operations in the neighbouring country. As part of his mission, he sends Jaskirat Singh Rangi (Ranveer Singh), under the alias Hamza Ali Mazari, to Pakistan’s Lyari town to get close to the infamous Rehman Dakait (Akshaye Khanna).
Salman Khan’s Tiger 3 also faced scrutiny for its content in Middle East countries. The movie was banned from release in Oman, Kuwait, and Qatar. Although no official reason was shared for the ban, reports suggested it was due to the portrayal of Islamic countries. Directed by Maneesh Sharma and produced by Aditya Chopra, the movie stars Salman as an Indian spy.
Akshay Kumar’s espionage thriller also faced backlash in several Gulf countries, including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Qatar. However, the movie was cleared for release in the UAE. The film revolves around a RAW officer who goes on a rescue mission to save people on an Indian flight that has been hijacked.
