Aditya Dhar Trolls Pakistan In Dhurandhar With Scene Featuring ‘Washma Butt’ Eatery

Ranveer Singh–starrer Dhurandhar continues to dominate headlines following its 5 December 2025 release, with a brief scene from the film now becoming the latest subject of social-media chatter. Viewers have spotted a moment set in Pakistan that features a biryani and chai shop named “Washma Butt” – a reference that quickly triggered a wave of memes and amused reactions online.

The name mirrors that of an Islamabad resident who became the focus of widespread internet trolling and meme culture. Though the shop appears only for a few seconds in the film, users across platforms have expressed surprise, humour and curiosity about the filmmakers’ decision to include the reference.

Netizens React

Let us take a look at some of the netizen reactions.

Dhurandhar

Dhurandhar has been performing strongly at the box office, crossing ₹150 crore by 9 December 2025, and is projected to become Singh’s highest-grossing film in six years, surpassing Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani.

Directed by Aditya Dhar, the espionage drama is inspired by real events connected to Karachi’s Lyari gang network. Set in Pakistan in the early 2000s, the film follows an Indian operative who infiltrates criminal syndicates as part of a covert mission.

The ensemble cast includes Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, Rakesh Bedi, Gaurav Gera, R. Madhavan, Sara Arjun and Saumya Tandon, alongside Singh in the lead role. With themes of betrayal, patriotism, covert intelligence work and organised crime, Dhurandhar continues to generate conversation—both for its storyline and its unexpectedly meme-worthy details.
