NEW DELHI: Director Sanjay Puran Singh Chauhan delves into the intricate psychological aspects of terrorism and the manipulation of young men to become suicide bombers in his upcoming film, “72 Hoorain.” Ahead of the much-anticipated first-look teaser launch, Chauhan shared insights into the film’s exploration of these themes.

In the gripping 51-second teaser, the audience is immediately drawn into the world of “72 Hoorain.” The screen lights up with haunting images of notorious individuals, including Osama Bin Laden, Yakub Memon, Masood Azhar, and Hafiz Saeed, as a captivating voiceover glorifies the virtues of those who walk the path of Jihad. The teaser then introduces the talented actors Pavan Malhotra as Hakim Ali and Ameer Bashir as Bilal Ahmed, who bring these complex characters to life with their remarkable performances.

As the teaser reaches its crescendo, a resonant statement captures the attention of viewers. The voiceover, filled with conviction, entices those who embrace Jihad with the promise of untouched hoorain, symbolizing the allure of paradise. This compelling narrative thrusts the audience into a world where faith and devotion are twisted and exploited for nefarious purposes.

Chauhan emphasizes the insidious process by which the minds of ordinary individuals are gradually poisoned by perpetrators, transforming them into suicide bombers. He reminds us that even the bombers themselves, hailing from families like ours, fall prey to the twisted beliefs and brainwashing tactics employed by terrorist leaders.

The film serves as a tragic reminder of the devastating consequences that stem from the brainwashing of individuals who become trapped in a deadly illusion of 72 virgins. As they embark on a path of destruction, they ultimately meet a gruesome fate. Chauhan, an acclaimed filmmaker who has won the National Award, underscores the urgent need to address the root causes of terrorism and the power of manipulation.

The impactful teaser delivers a stark reality check, shedding light on the fact that suicide bombings are the outcome of the intense brainwashing endured by innocent people. Such manipulation propels them onto the dark path of terrorism, all in the name of faith and religion.

Recognizing the profound emotional significance behind supporting a project of this nature, producer Gulab Singh Tanwar emphasizes the immense courage required to confront such weighty subject matter. “72 Hoorain” emerges as a poignant platform, shedding light on the manipulation of innocent individuals through the deceptive narrative of fictional tales, ultimately molding them into merciless terrorists under the guise of religion. Tanwar firmly believes that the time has come to unveil the truth and address it directly, without reservation or hesitation.

With “72 Hoorain,” Chauhan and his team aim to provoke introspection and spark vital conversations about the dangerous forces at play within our society, ultimately striving for a deeper understanding and a quest for lasting solutions.
