Dhurandhar, the latest film starring Ranveer Singh, has rapidly gained popularity, not only breaking box office records but also dominating social media with its catchy song clips. A new video circulating online showcases Pakistani women dancing to the song “Shararat” from the film during a wedding celebration, sparking a wave of reactions from viewers who are surprised by its popularity despite being banned in the country.
In the viral clip, two women dance joyfully while other wedding guests cheer them on. Reactions to the video vary, with one user humorously suggesting that Aditya Dhar deserves a Nishan e Pakistan for his work on Dhurandhar. Another commented on the film’s high regard across borders, noting the enthusiasm surrounding it even though it is officially banned in Pakistan. This sentiment was reinforced by a user who emphasized the undeniable cultural influence of Bollywood in the region, citing the numerous similar dance videos that have emerged in Pakistan featuring tracks from Dhurandhar.
Despite the non-release of Dhurandhar in several Middle Eastern countries, including Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, the film has emerged as the most successful Indian movie internationally in 2025. It has already grossed over ₹1000 crore globally, demonstrating its widespread appeal regardless of regional bans.
The music video for “Shararat,” which features popular actresses Ayesha Khan and Krystle D’Souza, has achieved over 100 million views on YouTube. Composed by Sashwat Sachdev, the song’s infectious melody is brought to life by vocalists Madhubanti Bagchi and Jasmine Sandlas, with choreography by Vijay Ganguly.
Dhurandhar, a spy thriller that showcases Ranveer Singh alongside an impressive cast including Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, R. Madhavan, and Sanjay Dutt, has not only proven to be a box office hit but has also positioned itself as India’s highest-grossing film in 2025. With its second installment slated for release in March 2026, the film continues to captivate audiences both in India and beyond.
