Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna’s film ‘Dhurandhar’ has taken India by storm since its release, sparking conversations not just domestically but overseas as well.
However, the film has been banned in Pakistan and several Gulf nations, with authorities claiming it portrays Pakistan in a negative light. Yet, despite the ban, the film’s music seems to have crossed borders with ease.
Dhurandhar Song Echoes After U19 Asia Cup Final
A rather ironic moment unfolded at the Under-19 Asia Cup 2025 final in Dubai.
After Pakistan thrashed India by 191 runs to lift their maiden U19 Asia Cup title, Pakistani players were seen celebrating in style, by dancing to a popular song from Dhurandhar, a film officially banned in their own country.
Following the victory, the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) shared a celebratory video on social media showing Pakistan’s U19 players dancing jubilantly out on the field.
The background music was none other than “Fasla (FA9LA)”, the song that marks Akshaye Khanna’s entry in Dhurandhar.
The track, sung by Bahraini rapper Flipparachi and composed by DJ Outlaw, has gone viral worldwide. Its distinctive beats and Baloch-style dance moves have inspired countless reels and videos across social platforms, and now, even a cricketing celebration.
