Batla House is a film based on the controversial Batla House Encounter that happened in 2008, where the Delhi Police was allegedly accused of cooking up a fake encounter case. In the opening scene of the film, special officers are seen discussing plans to capture operatives of the Indian Mujahideen, prime suspects in plotting bomb blasts that shook New Delhi on September 13, 2008.
The film is definitely an edge-of-the-seat thriller to keep you highly engaged with its narrative. Helmed by Nikkhil Advani, Batla House features John Abraham as DCP Sanjay Kumar Yadav, and Mrunal Thakur as Nandita, a journalist and John's on-screen wife. The film also features some versatile actors like Ravi Kishan, Rajesh Sharma and a few others. The crux of the film is formed on DCP Sanjay Kumar Yadav's battle with his senior officials and politicians, where he attempts to bring out the truth about the encounter incident.
