Filmmaker Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar The Revenge revolve around ‘Mission Dhurandhar’ planned by Ajay Sanyal (R Madhavan), Director of IB (Intelligence Bureau). It involves sending a R&AW (Research & Intelligence Wing) officer Jaskirat Singh Rangi (Ranveer Singh) to Pakistan to infiltrate its underworld and subsequently its political sphere in order to neutralize any terror activity by the neighboring country.

Jaskirat takes the disguise of Hamza Ali Mazari and achieves the task by the time the first film ends. In Dhurandhar The Revenge, as per the title, he avenges the 26/11 terrorist attack of 2008 by killing those responsible for it one after another. Sanyal and other seniors are happy and pleased with Jaskirat for what he did.

However, the whole mission also gives rise to some emotional collateral damage. In other words, feelings of, at least, a couple of characters are played with to achieve the aim. Yalina (Sara Arjun) is the obvious one. Her case is specifically highlighted in the second film. She somehow gets to know that she has been tricked into marrying an Indian, and that too a spy, while thinking all along that he is a Pakistani boy-next-door.

But there is someone else who has been even more unfortunate.  

Yalina has a problem that she has been married to an Indian. But she is completely unaware that she too is half-Indian! At the end of Dhurandhar The Revenge, we are told that the character of Jameel Jamali, played by Rakesh Bedi, is also an Indian spy, who has been living in Pakistan for the last 45 years. Hence, he too tricked a Pakistani woman named Shabnam (Gitikka Ganju Dhar) into believing that he is from her country and married her in the name of a mission. He not only continued the relationship for many years but also had a girl (Yalina) with Shabman while keeping her in the dark all the time.  

Spare a thought for Shabnam. Yalina, at least, got to know the truth about her spouse. But Shabman is completely unaware that she has an Indian husband. But it doesn’t end here for her. She also doesn’t know that even her son-in-law (Jaskirat) is an Indian and he too, like her husband, is a spy from the neighboring country.

Things get even weird when we think about Jaskirat and Yalina’s little son. Jaskirat is an Indian while Yalina is half-Indian and half-Pakistani. This makes their son three-fourth Indian and one-fourth Pakistani.
