The film's release was met by protests from a few Sikh groups, who took offense at its use of a Sikh religious phrase as its title.[1] Two bomb attacks on 22 May 2005 on theatres in New Delhi showing the film killed one person and injured 49, prompting cinema owners to pull the film, in some cases voluntarily and in some states as a result of a government order.[2][3]
Plot
editNihaal Singh is an honest and beloved constable from Punjab.
A chance encounter with the criminal Romeo changes his life forever. Romeo is an unstoppable mercenary who moves from country to country in a wave of terror. When Nihaal Singh unwittingly aids the terrorist in his escape, Nihaal is labeled a traitor. He finds himself suspended from his job, ridiculed, and hated by his village.
Meanwhile, Romeo has taken his merciless campaign to New York City. Intelligence reports reveal that Romeo has entered the US in a plot to kill the President. Now, the FBI is desperate to find Romeo, but the villain is a man without a face and therefore invisible. The only person who knows what the menace looks like is Nihaal Singh.
The FBI recruits Nihaal Singh to come to New York and aid them in capturing Romeo. Guided by bilingual FBI agents Suzanne Kaur and Manoj Bhatnagar, among others. Later, Nihaal and Suzanne fall in love. Nihaal hunts Romeo for the safety of America. He asks for one thing in return for Romeo's capture: to bring the villain to his hometown in Punjab, thereby clearing his name and restoring his former glory.
