Twitter Rains Praises on Rishi Kapoor-Taapsee Pannu Starrer ‘Mulk’

Netizens can’t stop praising ‘Mulk’ for its brilliance as it hit theaters today!

Rishi Kapoor and Taapsee Pannu starrer Mulk, directed by Anubhav Sinha, narrates the story of a Muslim family trying to reclaim its lost honour after a member of the family takes to terrorism.

The narrative starts showcases a peaceful neighbourhood in Benaras, where Murad Ali Mohammed (Rishi Kapoor), a Muslim lawyer, resides with his family.

Ali's nephew, Shahid, gets influenced by an Islamic extremist who convinces him that Islam and Muslims are in danger. Shahid offers to be a jihadi and participates by executing a bomb blast in a public transport vehicle, where a number of innocent people are killed.

The film echoes the voices of Muslims, where anti-Muslim bigotry leads to horrendous communal violence that leaves them feeling scarred, besieged and vulnerable.

Here’s how Tweeple reacted to Mulk:

“Powerful writing, splendid performances..”

#Mulk stands on powerful writing + splendid performances... Rishi Kapoor is in terrific form... Taapsee is fantastic... Supporting cast adds strength... Manoj Pahwa, Ashutosh Rana, Rajat Kapoor, Kumud Mishra, Prateik Babbar and Prachee Shah Paandya, each actor excels.
