Ranveer Singh-starrer Dhurandhar has landed into a fresh controversy. Baloch leader Mir Yar Baloch has questioned a couple of sequences from the movie. The scene is question features characters (reportedly based on Lyari gangsters) chanting "Allah Hu Akbar" and celebrating the 26/11 Mumbai attacks. The other scene that has stirred controversy is where SP Chaudhary Aslam, played by Sanjay Dutt, remarks, "You can trust a crocodile, but never a Baloch." The leader countered, "The price of one glass of water is 100 years of loyalty."
Mir Yar Baloch took to his official X account and wrot, "Unfortunately the movie portrayed the BALOCHISTAN and INDIA relations in a negative way, focused more on gangsters than the patriotic Baloch masses and their cause. Balochistan is not represented by a gangster and Baloch people fighting for freedom never celebrated 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks as we too are the victims of Pakistan sponsored terrorism. Baloch are not religiously motivated, and they never chant islamic slogan of "Allah O Akbar" and never ever collaborated with ISI to harm Indian interests."
Mir Yar Baloch argued that the movie failed to do justice to the Baloch freedom movement by falsely depicting fighters selling their weapons to anti-India elements. He clarified that, in reality, freedom fighters face a chronic shortage of arms; had they possessed sufficient weaponry, they would have defeated the Pakistani occupational forces long ago. Furthermore, he dismissed the film's portrayal of Baloch gangsters printing counterfeit notes, reasoning that if such resources existed, poverty would have been eradicated from the region. He asserted that it is actually the ISI that orchestrates illicit activities, including drug smuggling and the circulation of fake currency and weapons.

"We know spy operatives don't have permanent friends and permanent enemies but dealing with Baloch, there is no word of betrayal in the Baloch dictionary. We don't agree with the sentence by police SP Chaudhary Aslam "MagarMach Pe Bhrosa Kar Sakte Hain Baloch Pe Nahi" is totally against our code of conduct, ethics, culture because it is famous in Baloch culture that "Ek Glass Paani Ki Qeemat 100 Saal Wafa". Baloch if given 1 glass of water or helped, they never betray their friends/well wishers. It is poorly researched on Baloch history, Balochistan freedom movement, Baloch culture, traditions," he further added.
The Baloch leader even urged India to make a new movie and showcase the true friendship, loyalty, historic bonds and combined fight of India and Balochistan against 'common enemy' Pakistan.
The Bloch leader also showered praise, highlighting the "positive aspects of Dhurandhar". He wrote on X, "It is also important to highlight d positive aspects of Dhurandhar, in which reference is made to d oppression and injustices committed by Pakistan in Balochistan. Akshaye Khanna, dressed in traditional Balochi cultural attire, looks exactly like a Baloch. All cast played well."

About Dhurandhar: Dhurandhar draws inspiration from real-life events, touching upon geopolitical tensions and several covert RAW missions. One of its key influences is Operation Lyari, the government-backed crackdown on powerful gangs and crime networks in Karachi’s Lyari region, which forms an important backdrop for the story.
