Parhaar Full Movie 2026
Prahaar – The Untold Story of Ujjwal Nikam (2026) is a Hindi courtroom drama directed by Avinash Arun and produced by Dinesh Vijan under Maddock Films. Rajkummar Rao plays Ujjwal Nikam, one of India’s most famous public prosecutors, the lawyer who stood for the state in some of the country’s biggest criminal trials, including the 1993 Bombay blasts and the 2008 Mumbai train attacks cases.
The heart of the film is the trial that followed the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks. Ajmal Kasab, played by Lalit Prabhakar, was the only attacker captured alive, and the whole country wanted him punished immediately. Prahaar shows why India chose the harder road: a full legal trial, with charges, evidence and around 650 witnesses, so that the world could see not just who pulled the trigger, but who sent him. As Nikam himself has said about the film, it is not really his biopic; it is the story of what happened inside that courtroom, the questions the trial raised, and the pressure on the man arguing the case while his own family lived under its shadow. Wamiqa Gabbi plays Nikam’s wife, with Jaideep Ahlawat, Sikandar Kher and Ashish Vidyarthi in key roles.
Rajkummar Rao gained nearly ten kilos and adopted Nikam’s heavy build, glasses and courtroom manner for the role. The trailer’s line sums up the film’s spirit: “Naa bandook, naa goli, sirf saboot aur sachhai” — no gun, no bullet, only evidence and truth.
