Dhurandhar Trends at No 1 on Netflix Despite Banned Status

Dhurandhar, the spy action drama starring Ranveer Singh, has taken Netflix by storm with its massive international reach. The film, which was banned in several Gulf countries and Pakistan due to its anti-Pakistan content, is now trending at No. 1 on Netflix in these very countries. This unexpected turn of events has come as a surprise to many, given the film's earlier ban.

During its theatrical release, Dhurandhar was banned in Pakistan and several Gulf countries, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman, resulting in a significant loss of revenue, reportedly around ₹100 crore. However, the film's OTT performance has more than made up for it, with an overwhelming response from audiences worldwide. The film is currently trending at No. 1 in several countries, with Telugu audiences showing exceptional love for it.

Dhurandhar is trending at No. 1 on Netflix in 10 countries, including India, Pakistan, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Maldives, Mauritius, Kuwait, and Oman. The film's success can be attributed to its gripping storyline, stellar performances, and high-octane action sequences. With such strong momentum, Dhurandhar is expected to maintain its popularity in the coming days and generate massive hype for its sequel, Dhurandhar 2, which is set to release on March 19, 2026.

The film's OTT release has also sparked mixed reactions online, with some fans expressing disappointment over the censored version available on Netflix. Despite this, the film's popularity shows no signs of waning, and it is expected to remain a top contender on the platform for the foreseeable future.
