Plot
2020 Delhi unfolds in real-time during the politically and communally volatile days of the Delhi riots of 2020, sparked amid nationwide protests against the Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB) and heightened global attention during the Namaste Trump event.
As the city descends into chaos, Akshay and Javed, who are from different walks of life, find themselves trapped together in an abandoned factory. They are initially distrustful of each other due to religious differences. They see a local politician, Sanjay Raaj, bringing grenades to the riots. Eventually a police officer confronts the politician.
Production
The film was conceptualized in 2020 and draws inspiration from the real-life events surrounding the Delhi riots of February 2020. It was filmed entirely in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, over a two-month period. The production’s most distinctive feature is its execution as a one-shot film, requiring precise choreography and coordination.[12][13][14][15]The film’s score is composed by Saurabh Mehta.[citation needed]
Release
2020 Delhi was originally set to release on 2nd February 2025, right before the 2025 Delhi Legislative Assembly election but this timing was challenged by Indian National Congress politician Abhishek Singhvi.[16][17][18] The movie was re-scheduled for release in theatres across India on 14 November 2025.[2]
Reception
Abhishek Srivastava writing for The Times of India said the movie "is more noise than nuance" and gave it 2.5 out of 5 stars.[19]
