GRIPPING THRILLER  BASED ON CONSPIRACY THEORY about d mysterious death of Democratic Indias second nd perhaps the First most successful PM (Second More successful nd Foresighted Gutsy PM is Modi wth the great difference that he  has changed d stance from Ram niti (ethics) to Krishna niti but nevertheless runs a greater risks than) Shastreeji ,This atleast be the lesson that everybody a truthloving, patriotic citizen must  take)in Taskent on the night of 10January 1966.

The Tashkent Files based on the conspiracy theory around form.  Movie quite evidently aims to open a can of worms during election season.
Its plot seems to be inspired by
a good political thriller like JFK in which Kevin Costner as district attorney Jim Garrison, investigates the conspiracy surrounding Kennedy's assassination.  Or 12 Angry Men. But Vivek Agnihotri, both writer and director of The Tashkent Files in an inept bid to make a case for state-sponsored murder (under Congress rule) lets the golden opportunity slip away perhaps because of political pressure ,trolling,nd legal issues

The film starts with a bright young journalist Ragini Phule (Shweta Basu Prasad) looking for a scoop and the universe conspires to give her one. A mysterious voice on the phone beckons her to examine the devious conspiracy behind Shastri's death in order to shake the establishment. Warming up to the idea, she sets off on the chase and scrambles around looking for evidence to prove that the former PM’s death was a murder. And she has a scoop on hand! One that gets her invites to discussions and interviews on news channels as well as on a committee set up to determine the truth of Shastri's mysterious death.

She unearths these critical bits by dashing off to Tashkent and meeting a former spy to piece together the answers as also by referencing books written by former KGB agents. She asks mind-numbingly deep questions which loosely translates into "Can you imagine what the country would have been if Shastri would have been alive?"
Claims from a bunch of books like Political Mysteries, Conversations with the Crow (interviews with former CIA chief Robert Trumbull Crowley, Mitrokhin Archive (KGB agent Vasili Mitrokhin’s accounts) find significant mention in the film

Naseeruddin Shah and Mithun Chakraborty play wily politicians – home minister Natarajan and Shyam Sundar Tripathi - with muddled motives who are brought to the negotiating table because of the aforementioned scoop. The route to their ambitions for some reason lies in forming a committee.

The committee comprises of a historian (Joshi), a scribe (Ragini), a scientist (Tripathi), a RAW Chief (Belawadi), a gasping NGO activist (Mandira Bedi), and it is headed by Tripathi (Chakraborty). The characters and their alignment with the powers that be are sketchy and unconvincing. For the sake of objectivity and fair play, Pallavi Joshi is cast in the role of the left-leaning historian who is convinced that the conspiracy theory is bunkum. 
There is one scene in which Tripathi (Chakraborty) launches into a tirade about different kinds of terrorists that exist, such as intellectual terrorists, TRP terrorists, judicial terrorists and so on — watching that exchange is about as exciting as watching paint dry and unfortunately, the same holds true for most of the film.
Vivek Agnihotri has put in lot of research nd hardwork.He says  that it wud not have been possible to  make this film nd make it see the light of d day.
When Shastrreji died even we as schoolgoers heard the whispers of conspiracy but the film makes  a successful attempt to connvince that it was not only a Indian political conspiracy ,part of the game of establishing dynasty (as resullt besides Shastree jis death it neglected Kamraj ,Morarji
Nd division of Congress),but a great International conspiracy of cold war between US nd UNION
.खास MOVIE SHUD CREATE A TREND OF CONSPIRACY THEORY MOVIES ON Netaji ,Patel, Sawarkar nd so on
Kudos to Pallavi joshi nd her husband Vivek Agnihotri
