 "'Dhurandhar 2': Pakistani transgender activist Hina Baloch says '80% of Pakistan is gay'- Decoding Ranveer Singh's assault scene amid her statement")
Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar is more than just a spy thriller. It digs deeper into the emotional turmoil of the central character who’s asked to masquerade as a spy in Lyari but is a former criminal himself. This character was played with alacrity by the electric Singh. He’s physically and even sexually assaulted in the first film the day he lands in the badlands.
The reason why the scene stands out is the way filmmaker Aditya Dhar approaches the intensity in the moment. He refuses to sensationalize the miseries of Hamza or be pretentious about his trauma. And Singh maintains the kind of stoicism we didn’t see in his performances too often. His was an aura so contagious and flashy, it was impossible to turn a blind eye to the glitter of his characters. Hamza could be his most composed and chaotic character yet. And the scene where he faces sexual assault stands out for aforementioned reasons.
Karachi Transgender Activist Hina Baloch’s Bold Claim
In an interview with Queer Global YouTube channel, she said, “I believe that more than half of Pakistan is quite gay actually. They don’t want to just say it out loud, but I guess 80% of Pakistan is gay and the remaining 20% are bisexuals, so I don’t think that anybody is straight in Pakistan in terms of their sexuality.”
She added, “They will deny it, they will bring religion into it, they will bring culture into it, but this is an open secret. Nobody’s straight in Pakistan. “What I was worried about was how to apply lipstick and not get lots of sh*t from the family for that. How do I get to dress feminine, wear jewellery and not get the beatings?”
Ranveer Singh is basking in the glory of the historic success of Dhurandhar 1 and 2, and it will take a lot of time for any Hindi film to come close to its staggering collections. Amid the hysteria, the actor made his first public appearance to celebrate three years of Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre.
