72 Hoorain

Plot

72 Hoorain is a supernatural thriller that delves into the twisted aftermath of a terrorist attack, exploring the consequences of extremism. The film centers around two suicide bombers, Hakim and Bilal, who are promised heavenly rewards, including the company of 72 "hoorain" (virgins), for their martyrdom in the afterlife. Convinced by their handlers, they embark on a suicide mission with the belief that paradise awaits them after their death. However, the story takes a dark and surreal turn when, instead of reaching the promised paradise, the duo find themselves lost in an eerie, nightmarish purgatory. Their expectations of divine rewards quickly dissolve as they grapple with haunting visions, disturbing encounters, and the weight of their violent actions. The film portrays their journey as one of disillusionment, where they question the indoctrination they once believed in and confront the brutal reality of their choices. As the narrative unfolds, 72 Hoorain sheds light on the manipulation and exploitation of vulnerable individuals by extremist ideologies, challenging the glorified portrayal of martyrdom. The film's stark, thought-provoking depiction of these themes serves as a critique of religious extremism and the empty promises made to radicalized individuals.
