Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar created a stir around the world, especially in Pakistan where the Aditya Dhar directorial couldn't release theatrically due to continuing tensions between the two neighbouring countries. Nevertheless, the film found its way into Pakistan via cheaply priced pirated DVDs and illegal streaming before it started streaming on Netflix Pakistan. Last month, Dhurandhar 2 also made it to Pakistan through illegal channels.

As Dhurandhar became popular in the country, many Pakistanis were unhappy about the portrayal of Lyari -- where most of the action in the film was set. They said the film was defaming Lyari, one of the most densely populated neighbourhoods in Karachi, as a slum and gangland rife with crime and political machinations. The Sindh Information Department even announced its own film Mera Lyari, calling Dhurandhar "propaganda". While Mera Lyari has yet to be released, a P-drama is being pegged as Pakistan's answer to Dhurandhar.

Clips from Jahannum Ba'raasta Jannat, a Pakistani show seemingly based on an India-Pakistan espionage plot, are going viral on the Indian social media.

Jahannum Ba'raasta Jannat, which roughly translates to 'Hell on the way to Paradise' in English, started airing on Pakistani TV channel Green Entertainment from March 29. The show airs every Sunday at 8 pm. The Urdu-language programme stars Umer Aalam, Momina Iqbal, Bushra Ansari, and Javed Sheikh.

Indian social media is, however, having a gala time mocking the Pakistani drama. And the reasons are legit. A section of X users says Jahannum Ba'raasta Jannat is a badly done Pakistani show chronicling the Indian side of espionage.

The complaints are many: The actors are speaking Urdu dialogues with an awkward phrasing of complex Hindi words that don't fit into the situation. The accent is also completely off, convincing them that the actors may be playing so-called Indian characters but the actors are definitely Pakistani. The production quality isn't worth even a mention.

One of them found out a key plot hole, messing up the entire geography of India.

Eagle-eyed fans also found out that the actor who plays RAW director in the show is Javed Sheikh, who has starred in several Bollywood films such as Om Shanti Om and Namastey London.

Indians aren't impressed, the team of Dhurandhar would surely be not.
