In the situation when Dhurandhar could not get a theatrical release in Pakistan, not many people thought that it could take over digital screens instead. But the spy thriller has inverted the formula and already shot to the top of Netflix charts, and has caused cross-border acclaim in rare situations. The emergence of Netflix Pakistan Dhurandhar is evidence that the OTT platforms are transforming the access of the audience across political and cultural boundaries.
Theatrical Ban to Streaming Triumph
Dhurandhar on Netflix Pakistan had a huge viewership, even a couple of days after it was released on the OTT, even though it was restricted and could not be watched in cinemas. Its captivating plot, the use of research-based storytelling, and an equal treatment of delicate subjects were highly praised by viewers. The coverage on social media and the opinion of viewers indicated that the movie does not stereotype anyone; it deals with power dynamics and the reality of the world. It is this authenticity that made Dhurandhar on Netflix Pakistan outcompete a number of foreign titles, making a ban a bonus.

Its online success also amplifies a bigger trend: viewers are more and more adopting content on the basis of quality rather than boundaries. As it already has a sequel in the pipeline, Dhurandhar has established itself as a cultural crossover success, a movie that could not be shown in theatres, but streaming was happy to celebrate.
