New Delhi: The Indian premiere of Sanjay Puran Singh Chauhan’s feature film “72 Hoorain” is scheduled to release on July 7, according to the producers’ announcement on Sunday.
The subject of the 2019 movie, which stars Pavan Malhotra and Aamir Bashir in the lead roles, is the effects of violent extremism. The story, according to Chauhan, who also edited the film, is a “tragic reminder of the power of manipulation” and the “urgent need for tackling the root causes of terrorism.” “Perpetrators slowly poison people’s minds, turning regular people into suicide bombers. Remember that the twisted ideologies and brainwashing of terrorist leaders have affected even the bombers themselves, who have families like ours.
At the 2019 International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa, “72 Hoorain” had its world premiere in the Indian Panorama category. There, it also won the ICFT-UNESCO GANDHI MEDAL Special Mention.

Chauhan received the National Film Award for the movie’s best direction in 2021.
“72 Hoorain” is the ideal narrative, according to producer Gulab Singh Tanwar, to demonstrate “how in the name of religion, fictional stories were sold to innocent and ordinary people in order to convert them into brutal terrorists.” Ashoke Pandit, a co-producer, advised viewers to watch the film with a “rational mind.”
“The film will undoubtedly cause you to reflect on some widely held beliefs and how they are merely the product of our imagination. It will cause you to consider ideas and ideologies that have absolutely nothing to do with reality and how they serve only to brainwash people into becoming terrorists in the name of jihad, he continued.
“72 Hoorain” was written by Anil Pandey and Junaid Wasi and is produced by Saarthie Entertainment and Aliens Pictures.
