ETimes review of ‘Prahaar – The Ujjwal Nikam Story’
ETimes rated the film four stars out of five. The review noted that revisiting the 26/11 attacks could reopen painful memories and that certain portions might be triggering. It also praised the film for approaching the subject sensitively rather than turning the tragedy into spectacle.An excerpt from it read, “Revisiting 26/11 inevitably reopens old wounds, and the film can be triggering in parts. Yet, handled with considerable sensitivity, Prahaar neither sensationalises the tragedy nor reduces it to a spectacle. Instead, it offers a thoughtful account of a landmark legal battle that reaffirms the importance of due process, justice and humanity, irrespective of borders or religion. It is a powerful reminder that justice must prevail even when emotions run high, and the wounds of tragedy refuse to heal.“DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and the data in this article are compiled from public and industry sources.
