Dhurandhar: The Revenge

In 2000, Hamza Ali Mazari, then known as Jaskirat Singh Rangi, leaves his hometown of Pathankot to undergo military training.During his absence, a violent land dispute involving local MLA Sukhwinder Singh and his relatives leads to a series of attacks on his family.His father is killed, his elder sister is sexually assaulted and murdered, and his younger sister, Jasleen, is also assaulted and subsequently abducted.Upon learning of these events, Jaskirat returns and, with the assistance of his close friend Gurbaaz, obtains a weapon.He then infiltrates the residence of those responsible, where he kills the individuals involved and rescues his younger sister.

Following these actions, Jaskirat is arrested, tried, and sentenced to death.Prior to his execution, he entrusts Gurbaaz with the responsibility of caring for Jasleen and gives his approval for their marriage, with the intention of ensuring her future safety.In 2002, during his transfer from Burail Jail in Chandigarh to Central Jail in Nabha, Jaskirat is abducted.He is subsequently brought before Sushant Bansal and Ajay Sanyal, the Director of the Intelligence Bureau (IB).In 2004, at the National Academy for Training and Strategy, Sanyal informs Jaskirat that he will henceforth operate under the identity of Hamza Mazari Ali.

He is subsequently deployed to Kabul.At a safe house, he symbolically destroys remnants of his past, marking a break from his previous identity.During this period, he establishes contact with his handler, Mohammed Aalam, who operates under the cover of a juice shop owner.On 11 August 2009, in Lyari, following the death of Rehman Dakait, Hamza confides in Aalam that he does not intend to return to India.He cites an overriding commitment to safeguarding his adopted mission and states that his former identity no longer exists.

Following the funeral of Rehman, Hamza instigates Uzair Baloch to target Arshad Pappu, who is blamed for Rehman's death.This act contributes to the outbreak of the Lyari gang war between factions led by Uzair and Arshad Pappu, as well as subsequent confrontations involving the Lyari Task Force (LTF) and Arshads men.Hamza covertly records the events, and the footage is later leaked to the media.As a result of increased law enforcement pressure, Uzair flees to Dubai in an attempt to evade arrest.He is subsequently apprehended and extradited to Pakistan, where he is detained.

In the aftermath of these events, Hamza consolidates his influence in Lyari, gradually emerging as a dominant figure in the area and extending his control over parts of Karachi.He later acquires the title “Sher-e-Baloch.”
Dawood Ibrahim, who is revealed to be Bade Sahab, is depicted as ill and bedridden.He requests a meeting with Hamza and Major Iqbal, during which they formulate a plan to smuggle narcotics into Punjab and use the proceeds to finance militant activities.When alone, Gurbaaz “Pinda” confronts Hamza, recognizing him as Jaskirat.

He argues that Hamza claims to serve his country despite its failure to protect his family in their time of need.Hamza, in turn, criticizes Gurbaaz for his involvement in militant activities.Under the heavy influence of drugs, Gurbaaz begins to hallucinate, which escalates into a physical altercation.During the struggle, he accidentally causes his own death.Aalam assumes responsibility for the incident, which leads to his exposure as an Indian intelligence operative.

To preserve his cover, Hamza is compelled to kill Aalam immediately, an act that leaves him deeply affected.Chaudhary Aslam begins to suspect Hamza due to his prior association with Aalam.His concerns are overheard by Yalina when he instructs his subordinate, Omar, to initiate an investigation into Hamza.Acting on her suspicions, Yalina searches Hamza's belongings and discovers a hidden diary revealing aspects of his true identity.She confronts him at gunpoint, demanding an explanation.

Hamza asserts that his mission is solely to eliminate militant threats and maintain security across both countries.He insists that he cannot abandon his objective and tells her she may expose him after his mission is complete, if she chooses.After this confrontation, Yalina reconciles with him on the condition that he ensures the safety of their son, Zayan.She also informs Hamza of Aslam's growing suspicion and the ongoing investigation.Aslam is subsequently betrayed by one of his subordinates, whose loyalty has been compromised by Hamza.

While en-route to Hamza's residence to pursue his investigation, Aslam is targeted by a suicide bomber and is killed in the attack.Hamza later meets Sanyal and Bansal in Dubai, where they grant him operational autonomy to eliminate his designated targets.Subsequently, Indian intelligence operatives across Pakistan begin systematically dismantling and neutralizing the militant network.On 8 November 2016, following the demonetization of ₹500 and ₹1,000 currency notes in India, financier Javed Khanani panics due to a substantial debt owed to Dawood Ibrahim.He contacts Hamza in an attempt to resolve the situation; however, Hamza subsequently kills him.

During the same period, Zahoor Mistry, identified as one of the perpetrators of the IC 814 hijacking, is captured by Hamza's network.While in custody, he is subjected to interrogation and is briefly connected to Sanyal via a video call.He is later killed by Hamza.Dawood Ibrahim convenes another meeting, expressing frustration over the loss of his associates and increasing pressure from Indian retaliatory actions.In response, he begins planning a large-scale terrorist attack against India, assigning Hamza the responsibility of procuring and arranging the necessary weapons.

As part of this effort, Hamza cooperates with members of the Baloch community, drawing attention to alleged human rights abuses, including killings and the contamination of local water sources, in order to gain their cooperation.Meanwhile, Omar continues his investigation into Hamza and concludes that he is an Indian spy.He subsequently takes Zayan hostage, coercing Yalina into revealing the truth, and reports his findings to Major Iqbal.Hamza arrives at the designated location to oversee the weapons delivery, where he is confronted by Major Iqbal.Unbeknownst to the group, a bomb planted among the weapons by Hamza's ally, Rizwan, detonates, killing several militants preparing for the planned operation.

Although injured in the explosion, Hamza regains consciousness and manages to overpower Iqbal and his associates with assistance from local Baloch fighters.Following a prolonged pursuit and confrontation, Hamza incapacitates Iqbal and ultimately kills him by placing him in a container filled with kerosene, which is then set alight.After these events, Hamza contacts Yalina for the final time and reveals his true identity to her.Following the confrontation, Hamza is captured by Omar and subjected to interrogation and torture.Meanwhile, Sanyal contacts Lieutenant General Shamshad Khan, who is overseeing the situation, and coerces him into compliance by threatening to expose evidence of his alleged involvement in the sale of confidential intelligence to Israel.

Under pressure, the general orders Hamza's release.To maintain the public narrative surrounding the capture of a foreign operative, authorities seek a substitute suspect.Hamza provides the name of Uzair, who has been kept in custody, effectively positioning him as a scapegoat.Shamshad orders Hamza's release, after which he is retrieved and taken to safety by his handler, who is revealed to be Jameel Jamali.It is subsequently revealed that, after Yalina is compelled to disclose the truth about Hamza, she immediately contacts her father in an effort to protect him, leading to Sanyal being informed and intervening.

Hamza expresses regret that he was unable to eliminate Dawood Ibrahim directly; however, Jameel presents evidence indicating that Hamza had previously infiltrated Dawood's inner circle.It is revealed that Hamza had been covertly poisoning him over an extended period.Having completed his mission, Hamza relinquishes his assumed identity and reverts to Jaskirat Singh Rangi.He returns to India but is forced to sever all contact with Yalina.Ajay commends him for his service and instructs him to prepare for a formal debriefing; however, he is later informed by Bansal that Jaskirat has departed without notice.

Jaskirat subsequently travels to his childhood home, where he observes his mother and sister from a distance.The narrative leaves it ambiguous whether he ultimately reunites with them.In a mid-credits scene, flashbacks from Jaskirat's training with the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) are depicted.
