A character-by-character breakdown of every eyewear look in Dhurandhar, matched to the closest Specsmakers frames you can shop today. Aviator and pilot frames dominate the film's visual language, reflecting both underworld swagger and intelligence-agency authority.
Akshaye Khanna's dark aviators in the viral FA9LA scene sparked a nationwide search for Dhurandhar movie sunglasses. Using polarised lenses, as seen on most characters in the film, significantly reduces glare in outdoor and driving scenarios. You do not need a Bollywood budget to own the aesthetic. Specsmakers offers the closest style at affordable prices.
Introduction: Yeah. Ay Wallah. You Danced. Admit It.
Ya akhi dus dus 'indi khosh fasla, Ya akhi tafooz tafooz wallah khosh raksa…..
That beat hit you somewhere in the chest, and your feet just... moved. Do not even try to deny it. The FA9LA scene broke the internet for a reason, and honestly, Akshaye Khanna's sunglasses had something to do with it.
Dhurandhar is a blockbuster in every sense of the word. Three and a half hours, five powerhouse actors, and a story dense enough to need a sequel. But if you watched the film, you already know that each character carries a very specific weight on screen, and a big part of that weight comes from what is sitting on their face. Sunglasses, spectacles, aviators, geometric frames. Almost every major character in Dhurandhar wears eyewear that tells you exactly who they are before they say a single word.
Every character, every frame, and the closest Specsmaker's alternative, so you can carry that energy yourself. So, this blog is for you, from us - Specsmakers.

Fun fact: Dhurandhar runs for 214 minutes, and Dhurandhar 2 goes up to 229 minutes, making them some of the longest Indian films. That is a lot of screen time, so you should definitely carry your glasses to keep up. |
Dhurandhar Movie-Inspired Sunglasses: Decoding Every Character's Iconic Look
The Sunglasses
1. Hamza Ali Mazari - Ranveer Singh
The lead spy who walked into Karachi's underworld and made it his home. Those large pilot-frame sunglasses with a silver bridge and grey-green lens say everything about how Hamza moves — present enough to command attention, quiet enough not to blow his cover. A pilot frame does that better than any other shape. Want that same grounded, full-frame energy? Our Streak Retro Futurism Pilot Full Frame Sunglasses is polarized, metal-framed, and goes with practically everything you own. Go check it out.
2. Yalina Jamali - Sara Arjun
Mountain road, open sky, and Yalina pulling off a dark square full-frame sunglass like it costs her zero effort. Square frames with a dark lens sharpen the face in a way others simply do not – clean and structured. She looks completely put together without appearing to try, which is the hardest thing to pull off. If that vibe speaks to you, the Streak Retro Futurism Square Full Frame Sunglasses is exactly where you need to be.
3. Rehman Dakait - Akshaye Khanna
Be honest, was it the smirk or the sunglasses? The hexagonal geometric full-frame dark aviator Akshaye Khanna wears in the FA9LA scene is the whole character in one accessory: angular, dark, impossible to read. You cannot see his eyes. You cannot see his next move. The glasses are doing half the threatening for him. Our Happster Warli Geometric Full Frame Sunglasses captures that dark hexagonal energy, and if you have been hunting this look since December 2025, here it is.
4. Major Iqbal - Arjun Rampal
ISI operative. Three steps ahead at all times. The geometric full-frame sunglass with an angular cut and gold-silver bridge he wears reads like institutional authority; structured, precise, chosen by someone who knows exactly what they are doing. That gold bridge is a small detail that quietly lifts the entire frame. Our Streak OG JoJo Geometric Full Frame Sunglasses in gold with green lenses are the closest match for when you want your eyewear to look like a deliberate decision.
5. Uzair Baloch - Danish Pandor
Rehman's right hand, born into power rather than having to earn it, and his silver pilot frame with green-tinted lens wear exactly like that. Effortless, clean, faintly military without going full tactical. The kind of sunglasses that work on a highway, at a beach, or just heading out on a regular evening, with zero thought put in. Our Specsmakers Sundown Pilot Full Frame Sunglasses covers this look; go check it, you are going to like it.
6. SP Chaudhary Aslam - Sanjay Dutt
White shirt, gold-frame large aviators, and the calm of a man who has policed Lyari for thirty years and is no longer surprised by anything. The large gold aviator is a tenure statement — you wear this when you have stopped needing to prove yourself and started simply confirming what the room already knows. Our Happster Pilot Full Frame Sunglasses match that warm, full-frame pilot brief. Go see if it suits your face the way it suited his.
7. Ajay Sanyal - R. Madhavan
The IB Director goes outside and picks the most deliberately forgettable gradient pilot aviator he can find, silver frame, soft grey-to-clear lens, nothing that registers from a distance. Madhavan plays Sanyal as someone who runs everything from total invisibility, and the glasses hold that character brief perfectly. A clean gradient pilot on a good face just works, every time. The Happster Pilot Full Frame Sunglasses in the Sanyal variant at Specsmakers is exactly that frame.
The Eyeglasses
Not every powerful character in Dhurandhar reaches for sunglasses. These four wore optical frames that said just as much.
8. Jameel Sahab - Rakesh Bedi
Senior politician, career survivor, clearly wearing the same oversized pilot-shaped brown acetate frame he has worn for the last thirty years. On him, it has stopped being a choice and become part of his face; that is what a frame looks like when you have lived in it long enough. Rich acetate, oversized pilot silhouette, full of history. Our Happster Flex Pilot Full Frame Eyeglasses in brown capture that weight and shape. Go take a look.
9. Ajay Sanyal - R. Madhavan (Office Scene)
Outside, he disappears at his desk; he is running the entire operation, and the slim metal-rectangle optical frame says exactly that. Thin temples, clean full-frame geometry, nothing asking to be noticed. This is eyewear for someone who reads fast, decides faster, and has no time for accessories that get in the way. The Specsmakers Core Rectangle Full Frame Eyeglasses are this frame, slim, structured, and fully prescription-ready.
10. Mohammed Aalam - Gaurav Gera
Juice shop owner on the surface, secret handler for India's most sensitive covert operation underneath, and his square full-frame glasses are the perfect cover because nobody looks twice. Lightweight, neutral, completely unremarkable, exactly what twenty years in the same Lyari spot looks like. The forgettable frame is the whole point and the whole genius of this character. Our Specsmakers Flex Square Full Frame Eyeglasses are precisely this: TR90, lightweight, square, full rim, no drama.
11. Javed Khanani - Ankit Sagar
The money mover who never raises his voice and never needs to. The half-frame rectangle in matte grey he wears reads like a boardroom power move every time he is on screen, the rimless lower half pulls the eye upward, the matte finish keeps it sharp, and the whole thing communicates competence without once announcing itself. If your days are built around meetings and formal environments, our Specsmakers Titanium XL Rectangle Half Frame Eyeglasses in matte grey are doing a lot of quiet work on your behalf.
Final Thoughts
Dhurandhar ran for over three and a half hours across two parts, packed in five of the
biggest names in Indian cinema, and still made people talk about a pair of sunglasses for
weeks. That is what is considered costume design does. The eyewear in this film was not just an accessory. It was character communication at its most efficient.
From Hamza's pilot frames built for survival to Rehman Dakait's geometric aviators built for dominance, from Jameel Sahab's political oversized acetate to Mohammed Aalam's deliberately forgettable square, every frame in Dhurandhar was a deliberate storytelling choice.
