Mulk (Hindi pronunciation: [mʊlk]; transl. Country) is a 2018 Indian Hindi-language legal drama written, produced and directed by Anubhav Sinha.[4] The film is set against the backdrop of a Muslim family and was distributed by Zee Studios.[5] Filmed across in Varanasi and Lucknow, Mulk stars Rishi Kapoor and Taapsee Pannu.[6][7]

The story centers around the life of a Muslim family, who tries to reclaim its lost honor after its patriarch Murad Ali Mohammed (Kapoor) gets involved in terrorism.[8] The supporting cast of the film includes Rajat Kapoor, Manoj Pahwa, Prateik Babbar, Ashutosh Rana, Neena Gupta, Prachee Shah Paandya and Indraneil Sengupta.[9][1]

Initially slated to open in cinemas on 13 July 2018, Mulk eventually released in theatres on 3 August 2018.[3] Though failing commercially to recoup its budget, Mulk earned widespread acclaim for its story, screenplay, execution and cast portrayals and has received awards such as the Best Story and Best Film at Filmfare Awards.[10]
