"Dhurandhar," an Indian spy thriller set in Pakistan, has achieved a remarkable feat by reaching number one on Netflix's global Top 10 non-English films list, simultaneously topping the charts in both India and Pakistan, according to Variety. This marks a significant achievement for the film, especially considering the restrictions Indian films have faced in Pakistani cinemas.
The Ranveer Singh-led espionage thriller, which focuses on an Indian undercover operative infiltrating Karachi's criminal underworld, has garnered widespread attention. According to Variety, the film's success is particularly noteworthy due to its simultaneous dominance in both India and Pakistan.
The film's performance highlights the evolving landscape of film distribution and consumption, particularly in regions with complex political and cultural dynamics. The ability of "Dhurandhar" to reach a broad audience across borders via streaming platforms like Netflix underscores the changing ways in which audiences access and engage with content.
In other entertainment news, Variety also reported on Luc Besson's "Dracula" review, which features Caleb Landry Jones. Additionally, a new Peacock series inspired by "The 'Burbs" is set to stream in full, as reported by Time. The series follows a new mother who moves to the suburbs and encounters neighbors reminiscent of a contemporary horror-comedy classic.
