Yeah and Pathan is anti-Raw movie as well, in top ten if you notice is also bajrangi Bhaijaan…
So, movies from Pakistan aren't welcome, but movies about Pakistan are perfectly fine?
In Dhurandhar (saw it this weekend, fantastic movie), they actually played the actual call recording between the terrorists and handlers, some mix of fact, fiction and reality for dramatic effect.

My dear fellow poster, I think your criticism is unwarranted. The shift in Bollywood is a reflection in the change of society. Jo dikhta hai, wahi bikta hai as they say. Back in 70s & 80s, we used to have angry young man movies where a hero fall in love with a rich girl and beats up an evil villain. That changed to Yash Chopra love flicks in 90s and 2000s showing everyone is happy. In present era and in the age of social media, no audience want to watch those kind of films. They want a dose of reality and reflection of historical wrongs that happened to our beloved country which were hidden for so long. Hence movies like Kashmir Files, Kerala Files, Bengal Files etc are in such a high demand. More and more files to come now, just wait. The patriotic people of Bharat only want to see the reality now and not a middle aged hero romancing with a young girl like old days.
You’ve been spamming this word soft power for about a year now and instead of the intended meaning in India’s case it has meant getting embarrassed in actual combat to a nation you consider inferior and then running back home to create movies to pretend you are seen as what you wish the world saw you as… and in doing so you tank your film industry which had otherwise been beloved in the entire subcontinent so only you can enjoy it.
You spoiled it dude. It was a complete finalfantasy takeover of all the threads on the screen. All India all the time.
Lol, China has some of the highest grossing movies worldwide.
Good question!
Bollywood usually ends up showing Generals in positive light, it’s the ISI that gets the bad rep even in that they always show one good ISI LOl- Deepika in Pathan

They are the greatest nation on earth. Genetic supermen. Didn't you know this??
Shoutout to this sister for deeming it safe for viewing. I feel better and safer already and looking forward to watching this modern day classic.

Disclaimer: I was hoping to come off as a good wholesome Muslim to Indian neighbors and not as a proponent of gangsta life, I do not wish to stir animosity in the hearts of Indian men or stir desire in the hearts of Indian women with how Pakistanis are seen as gun slinging gangsters and outlaws in movies like this.
Thought I would distance myself from this badmaashi image that I am trying to leave in my distant past.
Thanks for the recommendation though and will watch it with open mind as this sister suggests
Didn't Pakistan itself claim that India has carried out up to 20 targeted assassinations within Pakistan?
That bad huh? I rarely get to watch movies in the theater nowadays and in fact can't remember when I last watched a Bollywood movie but a bunch of guys in the society were planning to watch it this weekend and I was thinking of joining them.
Haven't watched that. Just realised I haven't watched a single Bollywood movie in 2025. I did go to the theater out of nostalgia when they rereleased Main Hoon Na among a bunch of other Shah Rukh movies for his 60th. I'm almost exclusively a Mallu movie guy now when I watch Indian movies - all of them streaming. I don't even understand Malayalam.
The power struggle that went on Lyari is well beyond anything you can imagine, it's a chapter best left closed.

As I said, glorifying Rehman Baloch is barely scratching the surface of what exactly went on there.
No movie or tv series can ever do justice to the pain those people of Lyari faced day-in, day-out.
Then India goes in and inserts itself into this story, when the likes of Rehman Baloch, Arshad Pappu etc could be least bothered by what was happening in their neighbor country
You're probably right. I grew up in Mumbai in the eighties and the power and involvement of the underworld in every facet of life was something no outsider can understand. Every kid knew the names - Dawood, Chhota Rajan, Gawli, Naik. Every shopkeeper had to pay hafta.The power struggle that went on Lyari is well beyond anything you can imagine, it's a chapter best left closed.

Seems decent review but why Hrithik unhappy?
It’s the cost of making one, Tamil Movies had the best cinematographers capable before but now cost of making an excellent movie in Kerala is do damn cheap, Mumbai has become expensive to an extent it’s almost impossible to make a profitable product.
Yeah this is why the point of the movie has failed..Akshay Khanna....what an actor. C'mmon Pak bros...even you will appreciate his level of acting.
I mean some of the stuff coming out of there with the themes they're addressing! Chef's kiss!
Its not their job to get the story right. Its our job.
How do you guys manage to watch it? Bootlegs? It's a week or so old!
Didnt watch it. Know the story, and its reels are all over on social media.
I’m surprised you think Lyari can ever have something made on it in Pakistan. You are a Pakistani, you must have heard the kahaawat - garay murday ukharna?

I don't know really. Was just speculating since the story seems rather specific. Both countries' intelligence agencies have always been active in the other so I wouldn't be surprised if India had a a hand in the Karachi-Lyari stuff. Definitely not the swashbuckling musclebound spy hero Bollywood imagined but providing arms etc. The rest is obviously poetic license.
How do my fellow Indians relate to Rehman Dakait and Chaudhary Aslam anyway? This is the first time I heard their names. I am waiting for a movie on Feku, Tadipar, and Lawrence Bishnoi. It's easy to make films about characters from an "enemy country" and cash in. Let's see if the director and the andhbhakts have the 'himmat' to make and watch movies on these three.
Well that is an insult for pakistani cinema and the models pretending to be actors.
I take offence to the term brown as Indians have appropriated it. Latinos were the original browns, and the term should be global.
Its not about relating to the story. Its about finding an interesting story and than telling that story.How do my fellow Indians relate to Rehman Dakait and Chaudhary Aslam anyway?

And Bollywood's obsession with Pakistan continues. Pakistani content is not allowed in India but you are free to make content on them and earn money.
For your kind information, the US congressional report on Pak-Ind skrimish has called it a military and overall victory for Pakistan. But dont worry, you will have a resounding victory in bollywood.
