The storytelling is fearless, emotional, and thought-provoking — making it a film every Indian must watch.

One day, he takes a shocking step — he files a case against the Taj Mahal, claiming that beneath this world-famous monument once stood a Shiv temple. Whether his claims are true or not forms the crux of the story. To uncover the truth and the facts behind it, you must watch The Taj Story.

Zakir Hussain brings sharpness and gravitas to his role, perfectly balancing intellect with emotion. Amruta Khanvilkar, Namit Das, and Sneha Wagh are decent in their roles, supporting the story well and adding the right balance to the narrative.
Direction: The direction by Tushar Amrish Goel deserves special mention. He handles a sensitive and complex subject with great maturity and clarity. His vision is evident in every frame — from the courtroom tension to the emotional depth of each character.
Dialogues: The courtroom sequences are gripping, filled with tension and truth. Every dialogue hits hard because it’s rooted in reality — reminding us of the facts our history books often overlook. The film doesn’t preach; it presents facts and lets the audience feel the weight of the truth.
This isn’t just cinema — it’s a revelation. It’s about rediscovering our identity, our justice system, and the stories that shaped us.
Final Thought: The Taj Story is a film that shakes you to the core anchored by passionate, bold and award-winning act by Paresh Rawal.
