Aditya Dhar’s directorial Dhurandhar, starring Ranveer Singh, is set in Lyari, Pakistan, and dives into topics such as terrorism and political tensions. However, it seems like the makers decided to sneak in an old meme reference that the audience will love, and it is so well-hidden that it took us days to find. Can you guess which meme it is? If not, then have a look at it yourself!
About Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar
A meme that surfaced on the internet a while back included a social media account from Islamabad called Washma Butt. The response to the name that sounds like ‘wipe my butt’ was “Wash it yourself.” In 2019, there was a discussion on 9gag regarding whether the name in the meme was indeed real, with one person explaining that “Butt is a legitimate family name in Pakistan. But Washma isn’t a real name.
A significant sequence in Dhurandhar occurs when Ranveer Singh’s character, Hamza Ali Mazari, first arrives in Lyari. He visits a biryani and chai business owned by Gaurav Gera’s character, Mohammad Aalam. The camera pans to the name of the shop, Washma Butt. While the scenes around the photo are sombre, the internet couldn’t stop laughing at the reference. Social media quickly became inundated with screenshots of the shop’s name, with others marvelling at how well the Dhurandhar crew understood the meme.
An Instagram user shared a screenshot from the film along with a meme, expressing that only true fans would understand. Another commenter pointed out a scene in Dhurandhar where Ranveer Singh visits a tea shop with his juice shop employer, noting the shop’s name and acknowledging the subtle reference made by Aditya Dhar.
