In the latest blockbuster Dhurandhar, eagle-eyed viewers spotted a quirky detail that’s gone viral online. In one scene, a tea and biryani shop appears with the name “Washma Butt Biryani & Chai Shop.” The nod to the internet meme girl Washma Butt caught fans off guard and amused them. The shop appears just before the characters enter the gang-rife world of Lyari, and many instantly recognised the name, turning the moment into an unexpected talking point.
Instead of hiding it, the filmmakers left the name flickering on screen, giving viewers a little wink of humour amid the gritty underworld drama.
What Happens in the Scene
In the scene, the character Mohammad Aalam invites the protagonist Hamza for a drink at the shop. As the characters approach, the camera briefly lingers on the shop’s signboard, “Washma Butt Biryani & Chai Shop.”

No character mentions the name. Still, for anyone familiar with the meme, it resonates instantly. It blends a slice of online pop culture into a high-stakes crime thriller, creating a brief but memorable moment.
Fans Notice ‘Washma Butt Chai Shop’
As soon as the film was released, social media lit up. Many fans chimed in, some laughed at the Easter egg, others praised the filmmakers’ boldness to include a reference so loaded with meme history. Some joked about how even underworld gangs in fiction can’t escape meme fame. Others asked whether the mention was a tribute, a joke, or just a random, fun detail.
The reaction shows how connected film audiences are to internet culture — a quick onscreen mention can trigger a wave of chatter, memes, and reposts.
Why ‘Washma Butt’ went Viral?
The funny part about the “Washma Butt” shop name in Dhurandhar comes from a viral meme linked to a real woman from Islamabad named Washma Butt.
Her name unintentionally sounds like “wash my butt,” which turned into a popular online joke. When the film uses this name for a biryani and chai shop, the unexpected and cheeky wordplay makes the moment even more humorous for viewers.
