Review: Tales of Sikh warriors have always inspired awe for the honour and valour they embody. Writer-director and lead star Gippy Grewal elevates that spirit to remarkable heights in Akaal, a film based on true events.
The film begins with a brief historical prelude recounting how Maharaja Ranjeet Singh and the commander-in-chief Hari Singh Nalwa safeguarded the empire with their unmatched bravery. The tide changes after the Emperor’s death in 1839 and brutal marauders are shown pillaging villages. But when they come face to face with a Khalsa warrior named Akaal Singh (Gippy Grewal), even the most feared among them—Kattro (Mita Vashisht) feels fear for the first time.
In this action drama set in the 1840s, Punjab warriors defend themselves against a vengeful army. Akaal is also in Hindi Punjabi language movie.
