Directed by Aditya Dhar and starring Ranveer Singh, the movie Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge was released on 19th March, 2026. It has been a huge hit at the box office, though people have very different opinions about it.
Many critics and fans are calling this Ranveer Singh’s best acting ever and love the film’s high quality special effects. However, the movie has also been criticized for being almost four hours long, having very intense violence and including controversial political themes.
What did Pakistan cricketer Shahid Afridi say?
According to Indian Sports Network Pakistan cricketer Shahid Afridi said about Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar effect in Pakistan, he said, “After the Durandar movie, no one can be trusted in Pakistan anymore. Whoever I talk to, I speak very carefully, because it feels like they might be an Indian agent. And it seems our government should interrogate everyone one by one from roadside beggars to everyone else to find out whether they are Indian agents or not.”

Shahid Afridi criticized the Pakistan Cricket Board
Recently, Shahid Afridi criticized the Pakistan Cricket Board for choosing his son-in-law Shaheen Shah Afridi as new captain of Pakistan men’s ODI team. Shaheen was given the captaincy by selectors last year. However, under his leadership, Pakistan recently lost a series (1–2) against Bangladesh. Since this was an away series and a surprising loss, it has sparked a lot of debate about whether he was the right choice for the job.
What were Shahid Afridi’s statement?
According to Shahid Afridi, “You saw the performances in the 2026 T20 World Cup, and after that we also lost the Bangladesh series 2–1. In my opinion, the selection committee deserves criticism. All of you in the committee have played so much cricket, yet you still don’t seem to have the idea of who should be the captain for which format. You keep making too many decisions in the name of ‘surgery’. What you are doing is picking youngsters and players who have barely played a few first class matches. Your domestic cricket is not even of that standard that it can consistently produce players ready to secure a place in the Pakistan team. The senior players who actually deserved their place even if they didn’t have strong T20 performances had very good records in ODIs. But in the name of ‘surgery’, you sidelined those experienced players despite their solid ODI performances.”
“Instead, you brought in youngsters who have only played a few domestic and first class matches. The standard of domestic cricket is not high enough, and those players are not ready to come straight into the Pakistan team and cement their place. You keep handing out Pakistan caps again and again, this is not surgery. If anything, the real surgery should be done on the selection committee,” he added.
