A story of 'hope, courage, and standing up against bigotry,' the trailer of Hansal Mehta’s Faraaz out

The makers of Faraaz released its hard-hitting trailer today. The trailer gives a glimpse into the night when Dhaka stood still as a bunch of young terrorists massacred an upscale cafe by going on a murderous spree.

Directed by Hansal Mehta, the film marks the first collaboration between him and Filmmaker Anubhav Sinha and is all set to release in theatres on the 3rd of February 2023.


Producer Anubhav Sinha shares, “Faraaz is not just another film inspired by real-life events. It has so many cues that have a strong message to share. As filmmakers, we have the opportunity to share stories with the audience that are engaging and thought-provoking and Faraaz is a prime example of it.”

Director Hansal Mehta shared his thoughts on the release of the trailer, “The main reason that we decided to make a film like Faraaz is to talk about stories that surpass boundaries. The story of Faraaz is a prime example of how, when it comes to the fight against terrorism, it’s all of humanity on one side and terrorism on the other.”

Producer Bhushan Kumar says, “My experience working with Anubhav & Hansal has always been fantastic. These two mega minds always come up with stories that not only speak volumes but also spark engaging conversations. Faraaz is a film that is a must-watch, it will bring a whole new perspective to the viewers.”

The film is directed by Hansal Mehta and produced by Bhushan Kumar, Anubhav Sinha, Sakshi Bhatt, Sahil Saigal, and Mazahir Mandsaurwala.

It is jointly produced by T-Series and Benaras Media works in association with Mahana Films.

The film stars Zahaan Kapoor, Aditya Rawal, Juhi Babbar, Aamir Ali, Sachin Lalwani, Pallak Lalwani, and Reshham Sahaani in the cast.

Faraaz is all set to release on February 3rd, 2023.

Touqir Islam on 'Delupi', Anurag Kashyap’s support and telling stories through cinema

Highlights

  • Bangladeshi filmmaker Mohammad Touqir Islam tells Eastern Eye how floods and the 2024 student-led movement inspired his debut feature Delupi.
  • The film combines real stories from a flood-hit village with fictional characters to explore resilience, political change and social divisions.
  • Indian filmmaker Anurag Kashyap is helping present the film internationally ahead of its UK premiere.

When floods cut off a remote village in southern Bangladesh, its residents attempted to protect their homes by building a dam themselves. Their determination became the starting point for Delupi, the debut feature by filmmaker Mohammad Touqir Islam, which brings together environmental disaster, political upheaval and the lives of ordinary people.

The film began with two events that shaped Bangladesh in 2024. A student-led uprising led to the fall of Sheikh Hasina’s government, while severe floods affected several parts of the country. In an exclusive interview with Eastern Eye, Touqir explained how these events led him to Deluti Union in Paikgachha, Khulna, where he found a story of people relying on one another when outside help failed to arrive.
