Synopsis
Batla House (2019) is an Indian action thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Nikkhil Advani. It draws on a real Delhi police encounter from September 2008: a counter-terrorism squad closes in on suspects behind a series of city bombings, a gunfight breaks out in a crowded residential block, and two men end up dead.
The fallout is immediate. All the suspects were Muslim, the physical evidence is contested, and the media frames the operation as a staged execution. John Abraham plays Sanjay Kumar, the officer who commanded the raid — now fighting on two fronts: a public and legal reckoning, and the hunt for the fugitives who slipped away. Mrunal Thakur plays his journalist wife, who finds herself on the opposite side of the story.
What holds the film together is not the shoot-outs but the pressure — political, legal, and moral — tightening around a man who believes he did his job. Stream Batla House online on iFILM.
