'''''Batla House''''' is a 2019 Indian [[Hindi]]-language [[action thriller film]]<ref>{{cite web |url=https://mobile.twitter.com/TheJohnAbraham/status/1153160486940078080 |title=John Abraham on Twitter: Batla House is a sensitive subject.

Inspired by the [[Batla House encounter case]] that took place on 19 September 2008, the film stars [[John Abraham]] opposite [[Mrunal Thakur]]. His character, Sanjay Kumar, is inspired by Sanjeev Kumar Yadav, the police officer who played a crucial role in the encounter. The film showcases the encounter, and in its aftermath, Sanjay's struggle to catch the fugitives and prove the authenticity of the encounter, while dealing with nationwide hatred and [[posttraumatic stress disorder]].

The film was theatrically released in India on 15 August 2019 during [[Independence Day (India)|Independence Day]] weekend.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/bollywood/batla-house-first-look-john-abraham-film-to-release-on-independence-day-to-clash-with-brahmastra/story-hK6Q3tFFMCpld02xJAg4PN.html |title=Batla House first look: John Abraham film to release on Independence Day, to clash with Brahmastra |date=21 September 2018 |work=Hindustan Times |access-date=30 October 2018 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/john-abraham-film-batla-house-release-date-independence-day-2019-posters-5368732/ |title=Batla House: John Abraham starrer to release on Independence Day 2019 |date=21 September 2018 |work=The Indian Express|access-date=30 October 2018 |language=en-US}}</ref> It became commercially successful at the box office.

== Plot ==
[[Assistant Commissioner of Police (India)|Assistant Commissioner of Police]] (ACP) Sanjay Kumar is informed that his team have cornered 5 university students in L-18, Batla House, who might have been involved in the [[13 September 2008 Delhi bombings]], the responsibility for which was claimed by the terrorist organisation "Indian Mujahideen" (IM). Sanjay orders not to engage until he arrives, but a relentless inspector, Kishan Kumar "K.K." Verma, proceeds with some officers. Sanjay arrives and, upon hearing the gunshots, decides to engage. The building is cleared, and K.K. is found shot down. Sanjay enters the room, and there's more shooting, as a result of which two students, Adil Ameen & Sadiq, end up dead, and Tufail is arrested alive. Dilshad and Javed escape. Sanjay now starts facing the heat from media and politicians who start billing the encounter as a fake one. They're joined by the whole nation in condemning the Delhi Police, and everyone starts demanding justice for the students who were supposedly killed to account for the bombings. Sanjay's wife, Nandita Kumar, a news anchor, is however unwilling to accept this and decides to stay with Sanjay, who soon becomes diagnosed with [[Posttraumatic stress disorder]], frequently hallucinating about getting shot by the terrorists. Nandita somehow stops him whenever he becomes suicidal.

Sanjay now starts looking for the missing Dilshad and Javed, and finds one of them to be hiding in Nizampur. He is informed by his senior that he would be awarded for the encounter and that he must celebrate. Realizing he's not been told where to celebrate, he heads to Nizampur, where he manages to find Dilshad, one of the fugitives. Everyone tries to stop Sanjay, who chases, beats up, and almost arrests Dilshad, only for him to be cornered by the politicians and public who let him escape but without Dilshad. After being awarded the President Medal, Sanjay begins his hunt again and this time, through Dilshad's girlfriend Huma, tricks him into coming to Nepal. He teams up with his officers once again, and sends a van to pick up Dilshad, as a part of his plan. The latter, however, sends someone else to check for anything suspicious. Sanjay runs to stop his officers from engaging upon realizing Dilshad's not in the van and lets it flee. Learning of nothing suspicious, Dilshad informs the van driver he'd depart the next day, and upon landing in Nepal, is stopped, thrashed, and arrested by Sanjay and his team.

The court proceedings begin, where the opposing lawyer, Shailesh Arya, brings up arguments to counter Sanjay's truth and a parallel story of fake encounters, as per which K.K. and his men brought the students in L18, tortured and decided to kill them when they were ordered not to do so, following which K.K. was shot by one of his officers. Sanjay, however, brings out the truth that actually, his officers had been closely watching the students and realized they belonged to the Indian Mujahideen. The real shootout then plays out, showcasing K.K. and his team engaging when the students' fire, and the very fact that K.K. died gives Sanjay's argument a strong support when he tells everyone that no officer has ever died in a fake encounter. His arguments convince the court to sentence the 2 terrorists to [[life imprisonment]], while the last one somehow escapes the country.

While sections of the media still oppose the ruling and believe the police to be culprits, a video clip that surfaced in 2016 featured a confession from the terrorist Javed who had escaped the encounter, about how he managed to do so and later join the ISIS, further confirming the credibility of the encounter.

One of the songs, "Gallan Goriyan", was removed from the film's final cut and was instead released as a separate single due to thematic inconsistency at the time of the film's release.
