- In a podcast interview, Naureen Chaudhry said Dhurandhar: The Revenge accurately shows Karachi police officer Chaudhry Aslam’s 2014 death as a suicide car bombing, an attack later claimed by the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan.
- She recounted his final moments, saying a vehicle packed with about 125 kg of explosives rammed his car minutes after he left home without a bomb-proof vehicle.
- Naureen praised Sanjay Dutt’s portrayal of Aslam, noting that in one scene it felt like she was watching her husband on screen.
- She criticized the filmmakers for not consulting her, police officials, or journalists, saying the movie misses parts of Aslam’s life and character.
- The sequel has earned more than ₹1,400 crore worldwide, and the franchise’s reach is fueling new scrutiny of its depiction of Karachi policing and figures such as gangster Rehman Dakait.
