This Blink-And-You’ll-Miss-It Detail In Dhurandhar Has Earned ‘Masterclass In Realistic Filmmaking’ Tag From Ranveer Singh Fans

Dhurandhar fever has refused to die down in the country. After its massive theatrical run, the spy thriller, directed by Aditya Dhar, found a second life with its Netflix release. Now, even before the craze for the film, featuring Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, and R. Madhavan, could die down, the makers decided to release a teaser for the second film, officially titled Dhurandhar: The Revenge. It is releasing in theatres on March 19.

Amid the buzz around Dhurandhar 2, an individual who recently watched it on Netflix could not help but praise the director for his attention to detail. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the person pointed out that, keeping in mind the literacy rate of Pakistan around 2004, a particular scene

in the first film featured a signboard that read: “Zakir Coaching Nstitute.” The detail was minute, but it had a significant impact on the person who noticed it.

Fan Praises Aditya Dhar For His Attention To Detail
They wrote in their post, “Aditya Dhar’s attention to detail is actually insane. Check out the spelling of “NSTITUTE” on that board. Pakistan’s literacy rate was only around 54% in 2004, that typo isn’t a mistake, it’s a masterclass in realistic filmmaking. Absolute genius! #Dhurandhar #RanveerSingh.”

Aditya Dhar’s attention to detail is actually insane. Check out the spelling of "NSTITUTE" on that board. Pakistan’s literacy rate was only around 54% in 2004, that typo isn't a mistake it’s a masterclass in realistic filmmaking. Absolute genius!

It is worth noting that this was not the first instance in which people noticed minute details in the film. When Dhurandhar was released, the Internet completely took note of an unexpected detail. The viral Easter egg was a brief shot of a biryani-and-tea shop named after the viral meme sensation from Islamabad, Washma Butt. The small detail appeared for barely a second, yet it became one of the most talked-about moments from the film.

Pakistan’s Literacy Rate In The 2000s Vs Now
In the early 2000s, the literacy rate in Pakistan, according to available data, was around 50 per cent, with wide gaps between urban and rural regions and between men and women. Today, the literacy rate stands at 60.7 per cent, reflecting steady progress over the years. According to a Business Recorder report from June last year, the male population still has a higher literacy rate of 68.0 per cent than the female rate of 52.8 per cent.
