Here's what critics are saying about the film Batla House starring John Abraham, Mrunal Thakur, Ravi Kishan, Abdul Quadir Amin, Manish Chaudhary and others. Daily O John, as ACP Sanjay, does a ... Duration: 2h 26m Batla House starring John Abraham in main lead as Sanjay Kumar is about the Batla House encounter case that took place in 2008. It is about the Operation that took place on 19th September, 2008 against Indian Mujahideen (IM) terrorists in Jamia Nagar, Delhi. Plot: On 13th September 2008, a bomb blast had taken place in Delhi. Batla House , the new John Abraham movie directed by Nikhil Advani is one such attempt. On a cinematic level, there was a real opportunity to dig into the emotional space of the central character, but the movie gets reduced to a yet another patriotic drama with Nora Fatehi item number. Batla House bats for the Delhi Police and does a fairly firm job of it. But Nikkhil Advani 's tough-cop film takes the road less travelled. While most filmmakers might have chosen to weaponize the elaborate buildup preceding the 2008 Batla House encounter, writer Ritesh Shah fixes his gaze on the messy aftermath. This is a clever move.
