Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri was the second Prime Minister of India. He brought ‘The Green Revolution,’ ‘The White Revolution’ and developed the ‘Peaceful Nuclear Program’ with Dr. Homi Bhabha. His slogan “Jai Jawan Jai Kisaan” run through the veins of every Indian, till date. He died mysteriously in hours after signing the Tashkent Agreement, a Peace Treaty between India and Pakistan after the Indo-Pak war 1965. Claimed of ‘HEARTATTACK’ his body was brought India, wrapped in tricolor, swollen and bleeding from cuts. The clouds of suspicions hinted ASSASSINATION rather than a HEARTATTACK. No post-mortem, no investigation. His story was erased from history as his death a mystery!
After a four year of thorough research and filing 25 RTI’s, filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri created this ingenious political thriller, awakening #TheRightToTruth movement. Bravely asking questions on democracy, politics, corruption and governance, the film leaves the viewers with horripilation to an unending question of “STATE, DYNASTY or POLITICS? WHO KILLED SHASTRI?”
Based on the mysterious death of Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri in Tashkent, the film stars biggies of the industry namely Naseeruddin Shah and Mithun Chakraborty; accompanied by Pallavi Joshi, Mandira Bedi, Pankaj Tripathi, Vinay Pathak, Rajesh Sharma, Prakash Belawadi and Ankur Rathee. But stealing the thunder is the young National Award-winning actress Shweta Basu Prasad, portraying the journey of an honest journalist Raagini Phule.
The film now a case-study at IIM Ahmedabad, was invited for special screening by Rashtrapati Bhavan, Headquarters of RSS organization, National Sports Club of India; being admired nationally and internationally by all age-groups, mostly the youth of India.
The film completed more than 100 days in the theatres. Raking 8.4/10 by IMDb, 87% by Bookmyshow and 95% by Google users; grossing a BOC of 18 crore despite of extremely limited screenings; surviving the onslaughts of the Hollywood and Bollywood biggies; it emerged as “The People’s Film” breaking the stereo-types of hype-marketing, star-studded glamour and big-fat promotions. With no marketing hype and no star-studded promotions, the film evolved as ‘The Sleeper Hit of 2019’, raking footsteps by the word of mouth. Critics denied of rating and reviewing this amazingly brainstorming film, but to their surprise it achieved 50 times the lifetime Business of Day-1.
