Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

One of the first mainstream Bollywood films to tackle post-9/11 Islamophobia head-on, released when Obama was still new in office.

Trivia

Nawazuddin Siddiqui's role as Zilgai was tiny but pivotal—this was pre-Gangs of Wasseypur, when he was still 'that intense guy in small parts.'
