'Banned' Dhurandhar Film's Song Played At Bilawal Bhutto's Party In Pakistan? Viral Video Sparks Buzz

An unexpected clip circulating on social media has added a new layer of intrigue to the ongoing conversation around Dhurandhar. The action spy thriller, which centres on espionage, political conflict and heightened

India–Pakistan tensions, has remained in the spotlight well beyond cinema halls.According to online claims, despite ''Dhurandhar'' being banned in Pakistan and several Gulf nations, including Saudi Arabia and the UAE, a song from the film was allegedly played at a party in Pakistan attended by politician Bilawal Bhutto. The undated video, which has recently resurfaced, has triggered widespread discussion and speculation online.The video was shared on X with a caption that read: “A song from #Dhurandhar was played during the entry of Pakistani politician Bilawal Bhutto — and that alone says a lot. On one hand, cases are being filed against this film in Pakistani courts. On the other hand, they’re openly playing their songs at public events. From films to music, Pakistan seems completely obsessed with Dhurandhar right now."Note: Times now could not independently verify the authenticity of the video.

The clip appears to show Bhutto seated on a stage alongside two other individuals while the track FA9LA plays in the background. The song, performed by Bahraini rapper Flipperachi, is associated with one of the film’s most talked-about characters, Rehman Dakait, portrayed by Akshaye Khanna. In the movie, the track accompanies the actor’s dramatic introduction — a sequence that quickly became a standout moment for viewers.The alleged use of the song at a public event in Pakistan has surprised many online, particularly given reports of the film’s ban in the country.The post prompted a flurry of reactions, especially from Indian social media users, who pointed out what they described as an irony. One user commented, “Cases against Dhurandhar in Pakistani courts, yet Bilawal enters to its beats! Our Bollywood is so epic, even they can’t resist!" Another remarked, “FIR in the morning, playlist in the evening.''
