YouTuber Karl Rock recently encountered pirated physical copies of the Indian film 'Dhurandhar' available for sale at Karachi's Rainbow Centre. The film was priced at an astonishing PKR 50 (approximately Rs 16), despite India and Pakistan having a ban on screening each other's films.
'Dhurandhar' had recently premiered on Netflix on January 30, where it quickly secured a spot in the weekly Top 10 charts in both India and Pakistan. This availability on streaming platforms, coupled with the pirated physical sales, has sparked widespread discussion and surprise among social media users.
