Chaudhry Aslam’s Wife Endorses Film’s Account of His Killing, Applauds Sanjay Dutt, Questions Research

Her remarks underscore tension between real events versus Dhurandhar’s dramatization.

Overview

  • 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.
