Moviegoers are saying

Based on the tragic true story of Kanhaiya Lal, this controversial crime drama divides audiences with its heavy political themes and uneven execution. While Vijay Raaz's powerhouse performance as the titular character earns universal praise as the film's 'emotional anchor,' viewers consistently criticize the weak supporting cast, poor production values, and heavy-handed approach to sensitive communal issues.
