Directed by Avinash Arun and starring Rajkummar Rao, "Prahaar: The Ujjwal Nikam Story" (2026) is a grounded, restrained courtroom drama that chronicles the high-stakes legal prosecution following the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks. Rajkummar Rao delivers a dogged, deeply sincere performance as special public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam, capturing the meticulous discipline required to build an airtight legal case while resisting public outrage. The film excels in its refusal to resort to cheap theatrics or chest-thumping nationalism, maintaining a sharp focus on due process, ethics, and the chilling reality of courtroom testimony. Strong supporting turns from Sikandar Kher, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Wamiqa Gabbi add compelling weight to the legal face-offs. However, the narrative struggles with pacing in its second half, getting bogged down in Nikam's domestic subplots and troubled family dynamics that distract from the main momentum. Additionally, because the 26/11 tragedy has been depicted extensively on screen, parts of the procedural setup occasionally feel predictable and by-the-numbers. Overall, Prahaar stands as an engaging, performance-driven legal drama that honors systemic justice and truth, even if its narrative focus slightly wanders.
