Movie Preview: Shoot On Sight

Director: Jagmohan Mundhra
Star Cast: Naseruddin Shah, Greta Scacchi, Om Puri, Gulshan Grover, Nafisa Ali, Laila Rouass

The film is based on the July 7, 2005 suicide bombings that shook the city of London resulting in the death of 52 innocent civilians and four British muslim suicide bombers who killed themselves.

The film highlights the mental turmoil of Tariq Ali, a Muslim British cop who is investigating the police killing of a suspected Muslim terrorist in the London undergrounds. Commander Ali is distrusted both by his colleagues and his fellow British Muslims.

At the end, he does realise that the slain Muslim suspect is innocent and that his own backyard is being used by the terrorists to plan out further attacks on humanity.

The film does a close take on the muslim community in Britain after the July 7 bombings through the story of this muslim cop who is in a constant struggle of principles between his religion and his duty.
