Ahead of Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar: The Revenge release, Swara Bhaskar's mother Ira Bhaskar criticised the first film, claiming it stereotypes Muslims and Pakistan. She said, "You don’t see any normal Muslim there… everyone is a terrorist or a gangster," adding that the film's violence serves an ideological narrative despite its box office success.

Ranveer Singh's 2025 film Dhurandhar, which crossed Rs 1,000 crore at the worldwide box office within three weeks of its release, impressed netizens, critics, and celebrities alike, who couldn't stop praising it. As Dhurandhar: The Revenge (Dhurandhar 2) gears up for its March 19 release, actress Swara Bhaskar's mother Ira Bhaskar criticised the first installment, stating that it portrayed Muslims and Pakistan as violent.

Ira during a discussion on the politics of contemporary Indian cinema, said that Dhurandhar, which is doing very well at the box office, is an example of a film made by a filmmaker, Aditya Dhar, who is ideologically convinced by Hindutva. The conversation, hosted by activist and writer Harsh Mander on his YouTube channel Karwan e Mohabbat, also featured Harish Wankhede, Assistant Professor at the Centre for Political Science at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU).
