Aakhri Sawal, released in theatres on May 15, 2026, focuses on controversial political and historical debates through a serious discussion-based storyline. Featuring Sanjay Dutt as Professor Gopal Nadkarni, the film talks about sensitive questions connected to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and India’s history. Although the movie presents bold ideas and strong debates, it lacks emotional connection and entertainment in several parts. Still, a few performances and the surprising climax manage to leave an impression on the audience.
