What happens in Dhurandhar 2

Reprising the story around the same character from the prequel, Dhurandhar 2 brings back the undercover Indian intelligence agent who is on a mission to infiltrate and neutralise Karachi's criminal syndicates and underworld, which targets India.

The work of fiction is loosely inspired by real-life geopolitical events and conflicts in South Asia, such as the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, Operation Lyari, the 2014 Indian general election, 2016 Indian banknote demonetisation and more.

While the film has received major praise from the audience, a section of people also criticised it, labelling it as a ‘propaganda’ film.
