Ghazi has turned a long-forgotten page of India and Pakistan’s fraught history. PNS Ghazi, Pakistan’s submarine and its Navy’s beast, was sunk off the Indian coast while the two countries were in the midst of a war in 1971. Both the countries had different versions of what happened to the submarine. Now, after all those decades, Ghazi starring Rana Daggubati, Kay Kay Menon and Taapsee Pannu is revisiting the faded pages of history. And what a retelling it is!
The story almost immediately focusses on what warfare is all about: logic, discipline, rules, precision and execution. And making it all possible in an underwater scenario is a rare feat that Indian cinema has never seen before.
