The Tashkent Files- Hindi film (2018)

Vivek Agnihotri made this film about the mystery regarding the death of our second Prime Minister Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri. Many questions were there already in the minds of general public from the time the event occured. But those questions remained unanswered for a long time. Since last few years many independent researchers have been working in this field. This film is based mainly on the works of all those researchers. 

We come across many theories about the mysterious death through all the characters of the film. Also the characters represent various standpoints of our society, how certain ideologies make people think in a particular way- this point has been portrayed very nicely with all the characters. 

Many of us must have watched the film Ek Ruka Hua Faisla ( 1986) film directed by Basu Chatterjee or the Hollywood film  Twelve Angry Men (1957) directed by Sidney Lumet . This film basically follows that pattern of analyzing an incident from different perspective. 

And at the end many information from the Mitrokhin Archive is provided for the audience to understand the matter in details.

Overall the film is a nice creation which reveals hidden facts and inspires us to research more about the topic. It instills the element of patriotism in the audience through its dialogues and situations. After watching the film the audience becomes more aware regarding the realities of politics in a country.
