Analysed 16 Oct 2026·23 sources analysed·Mumbai, India·Entertainment
Prahaar Depicts Ujjwal Nikam's Legal Battle in 26/11 Mumbai Attack TrialPreviousNext

Prahaar: The Untold Story of Ujjwal Nikam is a courtroom drama focusing on the legal battle following the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks. Starring Rajkummar Rao as prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam and Lalit Prabhakar as terrorist Ajmal Kasab, the film explores the complexities of the trial, the pursuit of justice, and the personal sacrifices involved. While praised for performances and courtroom sequences, some reviews note pacing issues and a lack of deeper insight into Nikam's character beyond the trial.
