Episode Summary

BellBottom is the first film to release on the big screen after theatres reopened post the second wave of coronavirus pandemic. Starring Akshay Kumar as a RAW agent, the film is a heady blend of emotions, action, entertainment, drama and stunning visuals. Directed by Ranjit M Tewari, BellBottom is an edge of the seat thriller with a well-researched script, effective screenplay and impactful storytelling. The film also stars Vaani Kapoor, Lara Dutta, Huma Qureshi, Adil Hussain in pivotal roles. Inspired from real life hijackings that shook the country in the 1980s, the film narrates the episode of Indian Airlines flight ICC 691 that takes off from Delhi and is overtaken by four terrorists. This was our fifth plane hijacking in seven years and then Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi (played by Dutta) has had enough. While she plans to let the Pakistani government negotiate with the hijackers (as the plane has landed in Lahore), under-cover RAW agent, Anshul Malhotra (played by Kumar), code-named BellBottom, has a different plan in place. He wants to not only rescue 210 passengers but also capture the hijackers. How the team carries out India's first covert mission, gives BellBottom its main plot. Watch the film in theatres near you.
