The spy thriller Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge continues to dominate headlines, not just for its box office performance, but also for the real-life controversy surrounding its characters. Actor Sanjay Dutt, who portrays Pakistani police officer Chaudhary Aslam in the film, has received both praise and criticism following recent remarks by Aslam’s widow, Noreen Aslam. Initially, Noreen Aslam had appreciated Sanjay Dutt’s performance, calling it deeply moving and emotionally resonant.

In an interview with one of the media houses, she revealed that certain scenes felt so real that it was as if her late husband was standing before her. However, her stance has since shifted. While she continues to acknowledge Dutt’s acting brilliance, she has raised serious concerns about factual inaccuracies in the film. Noreen pointed out that several scenes in the movie are exaggerated or misleading.

One particular sequence, showing Chaudhary Aslam allegedly beating Baloch children, has deeply upset her. She clarified that her husband was never against the Baloch community and only targeted criminals. According to her, the film wrongly portrays him as an adversary of ordinary people, which contradicts his real-life image. Noreen also spoke about the painful memories associated with her husband’s death.

Chaudhary Aslam, known for his strong stance against extremist groups like Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan, was killed in a bomb blast, something he had eerily predicted. She recalled how he had refused to bow down to threats from terrorist groups, remaining steadfast in his duty despite constant danger. The controversy has now taken a legal turn, with Noreen Aslam expressing anger toward director Aditya Dhar.

She alleges that she was never consulted before the film was made, despite it being based on her husband’s life. Noreen has demanded ₹25 crore as compensation, stating that it is a small amount compared to the film’s massive earnings. She has also hinted at taking legal action if her demands are not met. Meanwhile, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, which enjoyed a phenomenal start has begun to slow down at the box office. After crossing the ₹1,000 crore mark in India, the film’s collections have dipped significantly in its third week.
