Yami Gautam's short cameo in Dhurandhar: The Revenge has grabbed viewers' attention because it reminds them of her earlier roles. From the name "Shazia Bano" to the undercover nurse angle, the scene brings back memories of Haq and Uri: The Surgical Strike.
Sometimes, it’s the smallest moments in a film that stay with you the longest. That’s exactly what’s happening with Yami Gautam’s short cameo in Dhurandhar: The Revenge. Many viewers walked into the theatre for the action and drama – but walked out talking about a nurse who appeared briefly and left behind a trail of questions, memories, and clever connections.
In Dhurandhar: The Revenge, Yami Gautam shows up in a simple avatar – a nurse posted in Pakistan. At first glance, there’s nothing dramatic about her presence. But as the scene unfolds, it becomes clear that she’s not just part of the background.
There’s a sense of confidence in the way she carries herself, hinting that something more is going on beneath the surface. And then comes the reveal – she is actually working as an Indian undercover agent. No loud dialogues, no dramatic build-up, just a subtle twist that clicks instantly with the audience.

One of the most talked-about moments of the film is a crucial hospital sequence. Yami’s character, introduced as Shazia Bano, is seen entering a ward where an injured mujahideen is admitted. She moves with confidence, checks the surroundings, and then injects something into the patient's saline bottle.
Moments later, the man dies without any noise.
