Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on the infamous 1981 raid on Sardar Inder Singh, still India's biggest income tax seizure. The real officer received no backup and spent 18 hours counting cash.
Released during India's demonetization chaos, the film accidentally became political propaganda — then backfired when audiences realized real tax officers aren't this heroic.
