Sooryavanshi (2021) is an action-packed Bollywood film directed by Rohit Shetty, and it is part of his police universe, which includes previous films like Singham and Simmba. The movie stars Akshay Kumar in the titular role of DCP Veer Sooryavanshi, a tough and highly skilled officer in the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS), who is tasked with thwarting a major terrorist attack in Mumbai.
The story begins with Sooryavanshi investigating a series of bombings planned by a terror network. As he digs deeper, he discovers that the terrorist mastermind, who had been in hiding for years, is planning an even bigger strike that could devastate the city. Sooryavanshi’s mission becomes personal when he learns that the plot involves a group of highly dangerous operatives who have infiltrated the city under the radar.
Alongside Sooryavanshi is his partner, Inspector Katrina, played by Katrina Kaif, who brings her own skills and determination to the operation. The film also features cameos from Singham (Ajay Devgn) and Simmba (Ranveer Singh), who team up with Sooryavanshi to fight the imminent terror threat. Together, the trio of action-packed, larger-than-life cops combine forces to dismantle the terrorist network and prevent a catastrophe from happening.
As with most of Rohit Shetty’s films, Sooryavanshi is filled with high-octane action sequences, dramatic moments, and a fair dose of humor. The film explores themes of patriotism, bravery, and sacrifice, while delivering a gripping narrative that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. Sooryavanshi is an explosive tribute to India’s law enforcement agencies, filled with thrilling chases, explosions, and heroic feats, making it a quintessential masala entertainer.
