Why it Supports?

1. Sets Up SP Aslam & Major Iqbal aren't strangers to each other, despite both working for Dawood. And are aware about each others activities, goals & behavior to certain extent. So it isn't a surprise when we see them together with President Zarwari & Jameel Jamali.

2. SP narrates the war between Dawood & Rehman about a land issue.(which is 100% real BTW, it happened in Reality as it is explained by SP), this enriches the lore of Dhurandhar.

3. Also adds more history to Rehman's brother-in-law, about whom we so far know is that Hamza & Yalina lived in his home(khabootar khana) for a while in Part 1.

4. Also sets up how Pakistan is a safe haven for terrorists, where we see terrorists like Zahoor Mistry are welcomed with new identities and treated as heroes and he is gifted a Furniture Shop for his terror acts. (Real life zahoor mistry also owned a furniture shop)

5. Exposes Pakistan's religious extremists & how they use Fake-blasphemy narrative to steal and plunder it's minorities, other blindly believe it's true and join the mob kill the innocent.

Why is scene Hurts the movie?

The Scene where Dawood asks Hamza to sell drugs and he says to Hamza "many leaders like blah ,blah,Rehman Baloch, blah, blah, first proved their loyalty towards their qoum(Muslim brotherhood), and then only they were able achieve high status respect in Pakistan's hierarchy."

These dialogues are problematic, because it ignores the blood filled rivalry of Rehman Dakait & dawood. And somehow Dawood is respectful about Rehman (even after he is dead) despite him hurting Dawood a lot.

This proves that the above scene (whose image I shared) is an after-thought(though everyone knows it ), and I don't like the fact this major conflict between Rehman & dawood is ignored by dawood's character later when he speaks with Hamza.
