Directed by National award winner Shivaji Lotan Patil, it traces the events of 31 October 1984, when the then PM Indira Gandhi was gunned down by her own Sikh bodyguards and the violence and senseless killings following it that soon spiralled out of control.

Most of what we see in the film is something we already know about Indira Gandhi’s murder that sparked four days of riots and systematic genocide of the Sikhs.

The inconvenient truth that some people would like to gloss over, one being the complicity of the government and state machinery in the barbaric killings (Congress leaders like Sajjan Kumar and Jagdish Tytler accused of inciting the mobs).

The other was the police inaction while nearly 8,000 Sikhs were brutally killed, burnt alive, their women raped and property looted – have been weaved into the story commendably by Harry Sachdeva (Writer and Producer of the film) sans melodrama or exaggeration.
