    A biopic on the life of lawyer Shahid Azmi who fought in court for people who don't have the power to stand up for themselves before the mighty law. He particularly takes up the cause of helpless innocent Muslims who are branded as terrorists and are shut in jail with long terms, primarily due to their religion. Shahid braves threats and makes do with no or little fees, and comes across as an ethical, sensible and totally honest lawyer. He also has to grapple with the ensuing domestic issues.

    Rajkumar gives life to Shahid on screen and is dynamic with his wide range of skills as an actor. Deservingly honored with awards for this portrayal. The court scenes brim with gripping drama, particularly the one towards the climax.

    A good film overall which makes an emotional connect due to the subject ...
