Plot: The film follows C. Sankaran Nair, a distinguished Indian barrister and member of the Viceroy’s
Council, initially tasked by the British to investigate the massacre, expecting a report in their favor. As Nair uncovers the horrific truth of General Reginald Dyer’s ordered slaughter of unarmed civilians in Amritsar, his conscience drives him to sue The Crown and Dyer for genocide, challenging the British Empire’s narrative
Aided by a young revolutionary, Pargat Singh, and a determined law student, Dilreet Gill, Nair faces off against Neville McKinley, a jaded Anglo-Indian lawyer with a personal vendetta, appointed to defend the British. The intense courtroom battle exposes the colonial suppression of truth and media manipulation, while Nair’s pursuit of justice sparks a surge of patriotic resistance.
