Sounds interesting. Heres some background for the story.

Liquour is banned in Guajarat.. officially. But its been consumed more in Gujarat per capita that other states. The thing is if they wanna buy quality liquor, they have to pay 3-4 times more than other states.. The liquor is smuggled into Gujarat from Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Daman. Cops and poiticians know all abt it.. but they get huge share to look away.. and as corrupt as they r.. they do. For NRIs like myself.. I can show my passport and get the due quota of liquor legally and quality stuff. I used to it for my frnds. coz I dont like Indian beers.. it makes sick.

Whilst upper middle calss and rich ppl can easily afford black market hiked prices.. the lower class.. once get addicted to alcohol.. goes for cheap home made alcoholic stuff called "lattha" or "potli". That shit is so devastating.. its gives u cirrossiz of liver.. and u die painful slow death. Some of the "lattha- kand " have actually killed many ppl in matter of hours.. coz the mix was poisonous. They add Navsar to make it more potent.. 

If the ban of liquor is lifted, it will give Gujarat a whole new industry where many ppl can be employed and qulaity liquor can be sold. But the amount of money the police and politicinas get.. they will never even let it happen. 

The word bootlegger is from Angrez raaj in India. There r so many of them all over Gujarat. When media expose the location where liqour is sold freely.. police make a fake raids.. the bootleegers already know its gonna happen. They change the location. All u have to do is.. just park ur bike or car and wait.. some boy will come and ask U.. "peena hai.. kitna chhiye" .. he will bring the stock. Once the things calms down.. its business as usual. 

Ppl from Gujarat goes to Daman (its a small beach town .. governed by Central gvnmnt. Liquor is legal and to Mt Abu.. or Rajasthan for that matter, Or to Mumbai.. and they drink like fish.. 😆

Gujarat is a wealthy state and this prohibition of alcohol made so many corrpt ppl mighyt rich. 

So, thats the background. I hope the film does bring this issue on forefront. PPL r dying coz of cheap home made alcohol n mix.. others r paying 4 times more and corrupt beuracrates r laghing their way to banks. 

All the best to the film. Finally an srk movie that i will watch in theatre 😆
