While human right activists across the country call it an encounter, the police maintain that the killing happened as a result of the accused stealing their weapons and attempting to escape from the crime scene. As citizens across the country celebrate Raman as a hero for delivering quick justice, a SIT committee – headed by DCP Ajooni Kohli, is set up to investigate the incident and find out if the incident was an encounter or no.

Co-written and directed by Meghna Gulzar, Daayra is produced by Vineet Jain and Dhaval Jain under banner of Junglee Pictures and Pen Studios. Inspired by true events, the crime thriller stars Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran in lead roles.

Giving the film a 4-star rating, Bollywood Bubble wrote in its review, “Daayra is unapologetic and raw as it shows the opposite sides of a coin and how individuals – based on their personal ethics, choose which side they want to be on. It doesn’t praise or demean either side, however, it justly shows how both are right. If you enjoy thrillers, do watch this as it’s unlike any you have seen before.”
