Based on Nuruzzaman Labu's 2017 book Holey Artisan: A Journalistic Investigation, it depicts the July 2016 Dhaka attack at the Holey Artisan Bakery in Bangladesh.[2] The film premiered at the BFI London Film Festival on 15 October 2022,[3] and was released in India on 3 February 2023.[4]

The film commences with playful banter among the five terrorists Nibras, Mubashir, Rohan, Bikash, and Rajiv in Dhaka, ultimately leading them to Holey Artisan Bakery. Faraaz's family discord unfolds, but he later joins his friends at the bakery, where they get taken hostage. An unexpected attack on police officers near the bakery intensifies the situation.
Inside, tensions rise as hostages are held captive. The police attempt a standoff but face challenges without a blueprint. The government advises mission cancellation for hostage safety, triggering global news coverage. Faraaz's mother, Simeen, confronts RAB DG Benazir, adding to the external pressure.
Midnight arrives, tensions escalate, and a clash between Nibras and Faraaz occurs. Despite a brief truce, Rohan's attempt to leave results in his death. Nibras announces freedom for hostages, except for Faraaz's friends. A heated exchange leads to Faraaz's declaration before his tragic end.
Outside, reinforcements from BAF, DB, Ansar, CID, and Counterterrorism and Transnational Crime Unit join for a final assault, ending the terrorists' reign.
