A late-night screening of Dhurandhar 2 has sparked widespread attention online after a woman was spotted working on her laptop inside a cinema hall during an 11 pm show.
The spy thriller, directed by Aditya Dhar and headlined by Ranveer Singh, released globally on March 19 and has been drawing significant footfall across theatres.
The incident came to light after Khushi Batra shared a video from inside the theatre on Instagram. The clip shows a woman seated among other viewers, focused on her laptop while the film plays on the big screen, with the glow from her device standing out in the otherwise dark auditorium.
The video has since gone viral, prompting mixed reactions from users online. Several viewers described the moment as a reflection of the growing ‘work from anywhere’ culture, stating that professional commitments appear to be extending into leisure spaces.
Others expressed concern over the inability to disconnect, stating that the incident highlighted signs of burnout and the blurring of boundaries between work and personal time. Some users also questioned the choice to attend a cinema screening while continuing to work, suggesting that such tasks could have been carried out elsewhere.
