Story: The film begins in Kupwara, Jammu & Kashmir in 2001. A minister’s daughter has been kidnapped by terrorists. And an operation to rescue her is carried out by NSG commandos led by Major Hanut Singh (Akshaye Khanna) and Capt. Bibek (Akshay Oberoi). The girl is rescued but captain Bibek killed in this mission but they were able to capture Bilal Naikoo (Mir Sarwar) who is right hand of terrorist leader Abu Hamza (Abhimanyu Singh).
The Major is blamed for the loss of an officer. Hanut suffers from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) as a result of this occurrence. Unsurprisingly, the Gujarat riots of late February are glossed over a passing mention is made for form’s sake and the film jumps to nine months later. An attack on the Ahmedabad temple is planned even as the state chief minister (Sameer Soni) addresses a conference of industrialists in the banquet hall of a hotel.
The NSG is called in to secure the area. Colonel Dagar (Pravin Dabas) ordered Major Hanut Singh and Major Samar (Gautam Rode) to take in-charge of CM Security but he was soon to be father so fater requested by Major When Colonel asked to take him in-charge. When duty beckons, however, one must put his weaker side aside and focus on being physically strong and ready for the next operation.
Major Hanut Singh along with Captain Rohit Bagga (Vivek Dahiya) and other NSG commandos reached to Ahmedabad. On the other hand Amu Hamza planned to attack on Krishna Dham Mandir (Akshardham Mandir named in movie) to rescue his right hand Bilal Naikoo. He sent four terrorists Iqbal (Abhilash Chaudhary), Hanif (Dhanveer Singh), Farooq (Mridul Das) and Omar (Mihir Ahuja) attacked on Temple and killed many innocent people and kidnapped many of them.
Government agree to release Bilal Naikoo and now Its upto NSG commandos to deal with the massacre and how they deal with these terrorist is all about this movie.

Durgesh Tiwary’s View : When I watched the trailer of this film planned to watch it on released day because always loved true stories and this movie is based on real Incidents.
It is a fictional drama inspired by the real-life terrorists attack on Akshardham Temple in Gandhinagar, Ahmedabad, where pilgrims were held hostage. As the terrorists start killing the captives, NSG commando Hanut Singh arrives on the scene to deal with the massacre.
Around 19 years ago, Ahmedabad, along with the rest of the country, witnessed a terrorist attack that claimed the lives of around 30 people and left more than 80 injured. After the Gujarat riots in 2002, the temple attack on September 24, in the same year left people shocked. Inspired by many real-life stories celebrates the valour of the men in uniform. The film attempts to provide a detailed overview of what happened during the operation and how NSG succeeded in saving several lives. My view on this movie (Highly Recommended).
