Public Reaction to Dhurandhar
Sadiq further said, “I’ve shown some scenes from this film to my parents. Believe me, they’re also amazed by the film. My parents lived in Mithadar and Kharadar in the 1960s. These towns are adjacent to Lyari. Therefore, my parents know every inch of Lyari. My father said it felt like the real Lyari. He also praised Aditya Dhar’s work and praised Dhurandhar.”
