In July 2016, Islamic terrorists stormed a popular café in upscale Dhaka and held its patrons hostage, killing more than 20 people and sending shockwaves across the subcontinent. Faraaz is the youngest son of a rich, politically connected family. That evening, he meets his friends at the café and finds himself caught in the crossfire. How he reacts to the nightmarish situation forms the heart of the story. Offsetting nail-biting tension with unexpected humour – often at the expense of inept law-enforcement officials – Hansal Mehta (Aligarh, LFF 2015) brings his trademark sensitivity, nuance and empathy to this fictionalised retelling. It is particularly striking for the way it looks at religious extremism from the perspective of Muslims who have seen their faith questioned and demonised because of the actions of radical extremists.“这条残杀同胞……怎么也不至于一年杀了一千万人吧，就算真让木帅杀，一千万人得杀多久多长时间啊？！太也离奇，木帅常年出征在外，就算想要杀也没那么多的机会吧？怎么还每一年都杀一千万？那墨云天的人岂不早就被木帅杀光了？这罪名编排得也太脑残了！”(。。)
