Ghazi is a 2017 Indian war film written and directed by Sankalp Reddy. The film is produced in the Telugu film industry, and is shot simultaneously in Telugu and Hindi languages, with the latter titled The Ghazi Attack.[3] The film stars Kay Kay Menon, Atul Kulkarni, Rana Daggubati, Taapsee Pannu and Satya Dev.[4] The film grossed over ₹620 million (US$7.4 million) on a budget of ₹150 million (US$1.8 million).[1]
Ghazi is inspired by the events from the sinking of PNS Ghazi during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971.[5] The story is about a submarine of the Indian Navy, an executive naval officer and his team, who remained underwater for 18 days.[6] It is about the valour of the crew aboard the Indian submarine INS Karanj (S21), which according to Indian claims destroyed the Pakistani PNS Ghazi submarine when it ventured into Indian waters to destroy INS Vikrant on the shores of Visakhapatnam.[7][8][9]
The film was released theatrically on 17 February 2017 to widespread critical acclaim and did decent business.[10] It was declared "hit" by Box Office India.[11] The film later won the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Telugu.[12] It was also nominated for Best Film and Best Director at the 65th Filmfare Awards South.
