Viral video claims Pakistan on ‘Indian spy alert’ after Dhurandhar 2 - here’s the truth

After Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar 2 started getting called a blockbuster, the internet did what it always does—ran a little too far with the story.The film, which follows an Indian spy moving through the underworld of Lyari in Pakistan, has clearly struck a nerve. Soon after its release, a bunch of videos began circulating online, with people claiming that authorities in Pakistan had suddenly stepped up random street checks. The logic? The movie had everyone on “spy alert.”One video, in particular, blew up. It shows police stopping people on the road. At one point, officers even wake up an elderly man sleeping on the roadside, pull off his blanket, and question him before letting him go. Social media quickly labelled it as a recent crackdown linked to Dhurandhar 2 - especially since the film isn’t even out in Pakistan. But yeah, that theory doesn’t really hold up.Turns out, the video isn’t new at all. It’s believed to be from an older police operation in Karachi, most likely in the Lyari area. Similar clips have actually been floating around since mid-2025, showing routine checks - not some dramatic, film-inspired hunt for spies.Basically, this isn’t a case of real life copying cinema. It’s just the internet connecting dots that aren’t really there.That said, the memes? Absolutely unstoppable. People have been having a field day in the comments, joking that literally anyone in the video could be an undercover agent - even the cops themselves.The funny part is, a movie about spies has somehow created its own little web of confusion online.And while Dhurandhar 2 keeps people hooked with its high-stakes storyline, this whole episode is a reminder of how easily fiction can start to feel real - especially when it already sounds a bit believable.
