Overview
- Clips from the Pakistani series spread widely on X, Reddit, Instagram and YouTube as many Indian users mocked it and nicknamed it a “Pakistani Dhurandhar.”
- Veteran actor Javed Sheikh plays a RAW chief in scenes that reference Operation Sindoor and feature lines praising an “Akhand Bharat,” drawing charges of propaganda.
- Viewers flagged basic errors and tone, citing Mumbai’s Bandra–Worli Sea Link labeled as “RAW Headquarters, New Delhi,” Indian characters speaking ornate Urdu, and digs at the show’s budget.
- The show, written and directed by Hussain Sahab, stars Jawed Sheikh, Umer Aalam, Momina Iqbal and Bushra Ansari, follows Pakistan’s efforts against alleged RAW missions, and airs on Green Entertainment with episodes also on Green TV’s YouTube channel.
- The backlash builds on cross-border friction after India’s Dhurandhar films, as Pakistan’s Sindh Information Department had earlier called that franchise “propaganda” and promoted its own Lyari-focused project.
