Bengali man visits Dhurandhar tea stall in Ladakh, but chai comes with one condition
A Bengali content creator found the tea stall featured in Dhurandhar while walking through a Ladakh market. His video drew film fans and travellers to the shop, now embraced as a movie stop.
A Bengali content creator stumbled upon an unexpected cinematic surprise while exploring the streets of Ladakh, a humble tea stall that fans now recognise as the iconic “Dhurandhar chai dukaan” featured in the film, which turned an ordinary chai break into a mini-movie pilgrimage.
Soumya Chatterjee shared the video documenting his visit to the now-famous tea stall on his social media, giving followers a closer look at what it is actually like to step inside the spot that caught attention after appearing in Dhurandhar.
In the video, Soumya was seen walking into the tea stall named “Washma Butt,” tucked away amid Ladakh’s market lanes. As he began exploring the space, he explained one interesting rule for visitors. According to him, anyone wanting to sit inside and soak in the experience had to order at least two cups of tea, whether accompanied by someone or enjoying them alone.
The clip then offered a closer look inside the tea shop, where the walls appeared carefully decorated with posters, scenes and references from the movie, giving the modest stall a fan-zone feel.
Soumya also showed bits of movie-themed merchandise and memorabilia placed around the shop, emphasising the effort that had gone into preserving its newfound fame.
Sharing how he found the place, Soumya explained that he had simply been wandering through the market in Ladakh when something suddenly caught his eye.
“I was roaming around the market in Ladakh when I suddenly came across this stall,” he said in the video, adding that he recognised it instantly from the film. Curious, he stepped inside, ordered tea and decided to enjoy the experience for himself, later recommending the place to fellow travellers and movie lovers.
For the unaware, who are yet to jump on the Dhurandhar craze, the scene where Aalam bhai (played by Gaurav Gera) takes Hamza (Ranveer Singh) for a cup of 'namak chai' at the unique shop. The scene becomes an entry point for Hamza into the political espionage scenario of Lyari town. For the rest, you have to see the film because we don't believe in spoilers.

The video soon caught the attention of social media users, especially film buffs and travel enthusiasts, with many praising the stall owner for the attention to detail and the way the place had embraced its connection to the movie.
Some viewers, particularly those already in Leh, excitedly asked for the exact location, hoping to visit the stall themselves.
Others admitted they had no idea the tea shop was a real place, saying the discovery instantly made it a must-visit stop on any future Ladakh trip, though quite a few joked that after all the hype, the chai there had better be worth it.
