A college student having brainwashed by his professor to his journey to Kashmir & truth.Released on 11 march 2022, it is promoted by the ruling party, BJP. It is running in theatres housefull & is a great commercial success.
The film depicts violence that is gruesome. But if the events were as such, it is tapered down for the audience. With a strong story it makes a good watch. With the events more unanswered questions remain in our mind.
Watching the late show meant a sleepless night. Eyes ache so does the heart. Sitting for three hours is no joke. But the tight editing keeps you on edge. Kudos to the entire team.
