New movies released in Navi Mumbai
By Dinesh Kamath
The Ghazi Attack

Ghazi is an Indian war film directed by debutant Sankalp Reddy. The film is based on mysterious sinking of PNS Ghazi during Indo-Pakistani War of 1971. The film stars Rana Daggubati, Taapsee Pannu, Kay Kay Menon and Atul Kulkarni. Amitabh Bachchan lent his voice for the Hindi version of the film. Chiranjeevi lent his voice for the Telugu version of the film.
The Ghazi Attack is inspired by true events from the 1971 Indo-Pakistan war. The story is about an executive naval officer of the Indian Submarine S21 and his team, who remain underwater for 18 days. The film explores the mysterious circumstances under which the PNS Ghazi sank off the coast of Visakhapatnam in 1971. It is an underwater tale of the courage and patriotism of the men aboard the Indian Submarine S-21 who destroyed the Pakistani submarine PNS Ghazi when it ventured into Indian waters to destroy the INS Vikrant.
It is clearly a mystery in what actually caused the PNS Ghazi to actually sink; and has been greatly disputed by both Pakistan and India. The Pakistani side argue that the Submarine was sunk by accidental detonation whilst laying its own mine in order to sink Indian Aircraft Carrier INS Vikrant. Former Indian Navy chief Admiral Arun Prakash in an 2011 interview said: "There’s a certain fog of war around this incident because subsequent investigations by our own navy found out that there had been internal explosions inside the submarine. She was carrying mines, and submarines... also larger banks of batteries which exude hydrogen so explosion can take place. So there’s a certain amount of uncertainty whether she sank because of our naval action or whether of internal explosions."
The film has Rana Daggubati as Arjun Varma, Lt.Commander, S21, Taapsee Pannu as Ananya, Kay Kay Menon as Captain Ranvijay Singh, S21, Atul Kulkarni as Devraj, Executive Officer, S21, Om Puri, Satyadev Kancharana, Kunal Kaushik, Malyaban Lahiri as Ranjan Sengupta, Junior Officer, S21, Naren Yadav as Ram Sagar, Cook, S21, Nassar, Thiruveer, Rahul Singh, Milind Gunaji, Bharath Reddy, Ramanuj Dubey, Capt SN Ahmed and Ravi Kumar Shada.
