Mission 11 July

Mission 11 July is a Bollywood Hindi film that was released on 15 January 2010. It deals with the sensitive subject of terrorism. People are not born terrorists, wrong influence and brain washing and circumstances make them so, and that is the whole subject of Mission 11 July. That just as wrong influence can make a terrorist, with the right influence maybe people can change and terrorism and killing in the name of religion can come to an end.

Mission 11 July is a story set in the slum area of Bhandup in India. The story revolves around a simple lower middle class Muslim boy called Shahid (Tarun Khanna), who is very poor but is living a happy existence with his mother (Joyshree Arora) and his beloved girlfriend Raavi (Nattasha Singh) who is a Hindu but the difference in religion does not matter to their love. His life is simple and full of love and laughter till he meets a professor (Pramod Moutho) who starts brainwashing him into believing that Muslims are treated badly and given second hand and low treatment in India.

Due to his respect and love for the professor and his own past where his father had been killed in the riots when he was a child, Shahid starts getting disturbed by the professors talk and actually starts believing in them, and finally one day, when he sees his dear professor being taken away by the Anti Terrorist Squad, he remembers his own father's death in the communal riots and gets fully convinced that his community is being ill treated in the country where he lives.

Not realizing that the Professor was a wrong influence and has affected his entire thinking process, he is convinced that the professor has unnecessarily been arrested! He now makes up his mind that the professor was right! He has to become a terrorist to help his kind, the Muslim. He decides to leave his home and his mother and his beloved girlfriend Raavi who try their best to stop him and when they can't, they refuse to stand by his decision to join a group of Jihadis.
