Pakistani Drama Jahannum Ba'raasta Jannat Draws Online Comparisons to Indian Film Dhurandhar

Pakistani drama Jahannum Ba'raasta Jannat, seen as a response to the Indian film Dhurandhar, has sparked widespread mockery on Indian social media for its poor Urdu, accents, and production quality. The show, featuring actor Javed Sheikh as a RAW chief, references espionage themes and Operation Sindoor. While Dhurandhar faced criticism in Pakistan for its portrayal of Lyari, Jahannum Ba'raasta Jannat has been humorously dubbed 'Pakistani Dhurandhar' online, highlighting cross-border cultural tensions and differing perspectives on intelligence narratives.
