Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar gives funny reactions in Lyari, Pakistan
Ranveer Singh’s steamy trailer evokes funny reactions in Karachi’s Lyari area. Local people reacted with humor and pride.
Ranveer Singh’s film Dhurandhar is unexpectedly creating a wave of reactions across the border, especially in Lyari, Karachi. Local people of the neighborhood reacted to the trailer.
A video report from geo newsWhich is now being widely circulated on social media, shows Lyari residents reacting with a mix of wit, confidence and typical street pride.
In the clip, the anchor says that from the trailer it seems as if Ranveer’s “dangerous agent” will shake down Lyari, but the locals insist that they are “not afraid of anyone.” Instead, they joke that instead of allowing the actor to show off his action moves, they would rather welcome him by having him play the region’s dominant sport, football.
“Welcome, Ranveer Gully Boy!” one resident says, laughing. A middle-aged woman says she hasn’t seen the trailer, so she can’t welcome it.”If I don’t see it, how will I welcome you? If you have seen it, I will welcome you, my love. I won’t learn anything. I don’t talk to strangers (I haven’t even seen her, so how can I welcome her, son? If I had seen her, I would welcome her, my dear. I won’t teach you anything; I don’t even talk to strangers).”
Some youngsters adopt a more playful, competitive tone: “We’ll teach him boxing.” We will show him what Lyari really is…Lyari boys are not afraid of anyone.

Others say that Lyari is full of talent and spirit, and that if Ranveer ever came, he would teach him football, “make him Ronaldo” and show him the real streets of the area, not just the version seen in the movies.
Despite the criticisms, the tone remains warm. A resident says, “If Ranveer Singh comes here, he should come with love and we will welcome him with love.”
