Sambhal’s dark chapter from 1978 comes alive once more with the release of the second poster for ‘Kalki Sambhal’. The film, centered on the infamous riots, has been a hotbed of controversy since day one, and this new visual is fueling the fire.
Actor Rajneish Duggal takes center stage as Seth Banwari Lal Goel, a respected businessman whose life was cut short in the chaos. Once at the helm of ‘Murari Lal & Sons’, Seth Banwari represented Sambhal’s thriving commerce before the riots unleashed unimaginable horror.
The poster’s stark imagery revives memories of the merciless killing that shocked the nation. Duggal’s portrayal promises to delve into the human cost of such upheavals, highlighting stories buried under time.
Online discourse exploded immediately. Many applaud the effort to document real suffering, viewing it as a vital historical corrective. Others express concern over potential polarization, echoing the backlash to the debut poster which drew political scrutiny.
With layers of sensitivity at play, ‘Kalki Sambhal’ walks a tightrope. It not only spotlights individual loss but also probes broader questions of justice, memory, and reconciliation in post-riot India.
