A recent Bollywood film, Dhiren, has sparked intense debate in both India and Pakistan after it portrayed Karachi’s Lyari neighborhood in a negative light. The 3-hour long film, directed by Aditya Dhar and starring Ranveer Singh as a Indian spy, depicts real-life events such as the 1999 plane hijacking, the 2001 parliament attack, and the 2008 Mumbai attacks in a fictional and negative manner. The film attempts to link Lyari to India’s internal issues, which has led to widespread criticism globally and in India.
However, some Indian film critics are now facing online harassment for criticizing the film. The film Dhiren features Ranveer Singh, Akshay Khanna, Arjun Rampal, Aamir Madhun, and Sanjay Dutt in leading roles. This controversy highlights the Indian film industry’s tendency to present a biased view of the tension between nuclear-armed neighbors.
The Pakistan Peoples Party had filed a lawsuit against the film in a Karachi court last month over the unauthorized use of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto’s image and portrayal of party leaders as terrorist sympathizers.
