Dhurandhar Banned In Gulf Countries Over Anti-Pakistan Theme: Report
Bollywood Hungama quoted a source saying, “Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE have not released Dhurandhar. There were apprehensions that this would happen as the film is perceived as an ‘anti-Pakistan film’. Also, in the past, such films have failed to procure a release in this region. Yet, the team of Dhurandhar made an attempt, but sadly, all the countries did not approve of the theme of the film. This is why Dhurandhar hasn’t been released in any of the Gulf countries.” The report further states that Dhurandhar managed to collect Rs 44.08 crore in 4 days overseas, however, the numbers could have been more if the film has found a release in the Gulf countries or the UAE /GCC belt.
Earlier, films such as Sky Force, The Diplomat, Article 370, Tiger 3, and The Kashmir Files also faced similar restrictions across parts of the Middle East. Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone starrer Fighter was initially banned in all the Gulf countries except the UAE. However, a day later, even the UAE suspended its release in its territory. The makers of the film submitted the re-edited version of the film to the UAE after removing certain scenes and dialogues. However, the revised version of Fighter was rejected too.
