Zila Ghaziabad

Loyalties fracture throughout the film as alliances shift with political advantage and personal grievances. Friends turn rivals, and betrayals ripple through families and communities, intensifying the cycle of violence and retribution.

The plot centers on brutal acts and retaliatory cycles that perpetuate bloodshed. Each act of vengeance triggers further violence, affecting innocents and entangling entire neighborhoods in a self-destructive spiral.
