About Faraaz Movie:
On 5 August 2021, the director Hansal Mehta revealed his action thriller film, Faraaz.
The filming ended on 15 August 2021.
The film premiered at the BFI London Film Festival on 15 October 2022 in the ‘Thrill’ section.
Faraaz was released in India on 3 February 2023, after the Delhi High Court refused to grant a stay for release in a suit filed by the mothers of two girls who died in the terrorist attack.
The film has been criticized for allegedly “exploiting a horrifying tragedy for profit without asking the permission of the victim’s family.” The film’s director Mehta defends against those remarks by referring to a The Business Standard opinion article that emphasizes “artistic freedom” and “being a target of cancel culture.”
