Dhurandhar, starring Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna, is on track to reach Rs 900 crore and then Rs 1000 crore. Amid 'Dhurandhar' collecting, the locals of Lyari town, Karachi, Pakistan, are now demanding a significant profit share from the movie. Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar follows an Indian RAW agent who infiltrates Lyari to disrupt the link between the underworld gangsters and terrorists. As the film continues to shatter records, the residents of Lyari are pleading with the Dhurandhar team to give them money or restore the town.

A vox-pop of Lyari locals goes viral in a video on X, causing the internet to go crazy. A local responded, "800 crore kamaye na, unko bolo Chil Chowk ko toh colour karwaye, battiyan lagwaye," when asked about Dhurandhar's earnings exceeding Rs 800 crore. Isko colour toh karwao, iske zariye aapne kamaya." He continued by saying that the filmmakers misrepresented the town. "Yeh kahani jhoot hai. Aisa nahi tha Rehman Dakait. "Mere khyaal se 80% Lyari ko dena chaiye," remarked a different Lyari inhabitant. The inhabitant said, "Kyun woh toh kamate rehte hai," after the reporter was taken aback by this. Ek film se nahi kamaya toh kya ho gaya."
