I am from the town (Dhanbad) where this movie is set. I was born in Dhanbad in the year 1976 and have lived and breathed there during the 80s and 90s. While the action, drama, and direction is top notch in this movie, the story is fake, and is just the opposite as to what is shown in the movie. The antagonist in movie in real life is the the hero of Dhnabad. There is even a statue of him in Jharia, and protagonist (Shafiq Khan) is actually the villain, who is serving his life term in Hazaribaug Jail. Surro Deo Singh (Ramadhir Singh) died of a heart attack and not shot dead as shown in the movie.
