Sweating, bleeding, nervous, agitated and trying to keep calm under pressure in a claustrophobic environment where one wrong move can mean either death or a full-scale war between India and Pakistan.The movie starts with the incidents which depict East Pakistan rebelling against West Pakistan. As such, the setting is new to the Indian audience who have rarely seen the insides of a submarine on the big screen. As of today, it is a mystery and was thus, a ripe subject for a filmmaker to base a war film on.More so because 90 percent of the action occurs within submarines and thus under water.
However, the Indian Navy credits the destroyer INS Rajput for sinking PNS Ghazi. According to the Pakistani Navy, PNS Ghazi sank due to explosions caused by itself or the naval mine(s) it laid in the Bay of Bengal. It is an underwater tale of the courage and patriotism of the men aboard the Indian Submarine S-21 who destroyed the Pakistani submarine PNS Ghazi when it ventured into Indian waters to destroy INS Vikrant. The film explores the mysterious circumstances under which PNS Ghazi sank off the coast of Visakhapatnam in 1971. The story is about an executive naval officer of the Indian Submarine INS Karanj (S21) and his team, who remain underwater for 18 days. Inspired by true facts and events from the1971 Indo-Pakistani war, ‘The Ghazi Attack’ is a story redefining the patriotism in a way which was never done before.
