Storyline: Based on true events, the film follows Karachi’s famed encounter specialist SSP Chaudhry Aslam Khan, who dedicated his life to combating crime and militancy. After surviving multiple attacks, he was tragically killed in a 2014 bombing. The biopic portrays his bravery, law-and-order legacy, and controversial methods.
Review: Critics praised the authentic casting—Tariq Islam, Aslam’s cousin and former DSP, channels the late officer’s mannerisms. However, the screenplay suffers from weak pacing, under‑developed characters, and inconsistent action, making it emotionally uneven.
