One of the most horrific terror strikes in history took place on July 1, 2016, in a diplomatic area of Dhaka, Bangladesh. Five extremists attacked the Holey Artisan Bakery and took hostages inside. The horrifying incident rattled the Dhaka Metropolitan Police and even the Prime Minister. Many foreigners and non-Islamic people were murdered and injured, while only Bangladeshi Muslims were spared, yet they lived a nightmare that we would all like to forget. Hansal Mehta’s “Faraaz” describes that harrowing night, based on the actual occurrence that transpired at the Dhaka café Holey Artisan.
In addition to depicting the true incident, “Faraaz” also emphasizes that terrorism cannot be attributed to a particular religion but rather to the philosophy that supports it. Islam is seen as a violent religion in the wider world, but the Quran, like other holy books, preached peace. But, there are those extremist Islamists out there who only comprehend...

Director Hansal Mehta is back with another hard-hitting story titled ‘Faraaz’, based on the real-life terrorist attack that ravaged a Dhaka Cafe in 2016, which will release on the big screen on February 3.
Filmmaker Hansal Mehta said, “To me, Faraaz is a story of our polarised times. Through the one event that rocked Dhaka – the 2016 attack on the Holey Artisan cafe – I’ve tried to explore the broader theme of violence and what really drives young, vulnerable minds towards it.”
“Designed as a nail-biting thriller that plays out over one tense night, my attempt with Faraaz has also been to shine a light on the immense courage and humanity that it takes to stand up against violence. Because standing up against bigotry and the carnage it triggers is the only way to defeat it.”
The film stars Zahan Kapoor, Aditya Rawal, Juhi Babbar, Aamir Ali, Sachin Lalwani, Palak Lalwani and Reshham Sahaani in the cast.

Starring Manoj Bajpai, Siddharth Malhotra, Naseeruddin Shah, Rakul Preet Singh
Written & Directed by Neeraj Pandey
At first Aiyaary seems less seamless than it actually is. Where is all this leading to? You wonder at the outset, as writer-director Neeraj Pandey sets up what eventually turns out to be pieces of a jigsaw that fits perfectly into the mindboggling zigzag of India’s political conditioning in contemporary times.
It is very hard to point out plot points inAiyaary that stand out to build the compelling construct on corruption in military forces. It seems miraculous that Siddharth Malhotra, playing an army renegade, is allowed to mouth dialogues that openly castigate the corrupt political system. Illegal arms-deal scams are not only whispered into the commodious plot. The narrative screams in wounded agony at the dizzying heights of corruption in the highest places.
This is no mean achievement.
