Swarnim Global Services Pvt.Ltd and CA Suresh Jha’s The Taj Story, written and directed by Tushar Amrish Goel, starring Paresh Rawal and anchored by Vikas Radhesham as creative producer, has dropped their most explosive and chatter-generating first look poster .The poster launched by the makers is sure to grab the attention.
The poster’s stark, provocative tagline, “The Truth Unveils…,” has immediately ignited a firestorm of chatter. By framing its narrative as a hidden “truth” waiting to be exposed, the film challenges the cherished legacy of the Taj Mahal, a monument widely celebrated as a symbol of eternal love. Rather than presenting itself as a historical drama, the poster’s communication suggests an impending exposé, raising alarms among historians and cultural custodians who fear the film will prioritize sensationalism over scholarly consensus and further polarize public sentiment around one of India’s most iconic UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
The creative team, led by writer-director Tushar Amrish Goel, offers no context, allowing the ominous phrasing to dominate the narrative. This approach reduces the Taj Mahal’s complex history to a mere hook for a thriller, risking the dissemination of misleading narratives to a mass audience under the guise of cinematic entertainment. The poster doesn’t promise a story of love or artistry, but one of secrets and lies, setting a confrontational stage that seems designed to provoke debate and court controversy as its primary marketing strategy.
The poster raises multiple questions, and it promises to take the audience on a chapter from Indian history that no one has ever spoken about before. Besides this, the makers aim to present the truth in its most unapologetic way that no one has ever dared.
Featuring a powerhouse ensemble led by Paresh Rawal, along with Zakir Hussain, Amruta Khanvilkar, Sneha Wagh, and Namit Das, The Taj Story is positioned as a hard-hitting social drama that fearlessly raises one of the most provocative questions of our times: “Even after 79 years of Independence, are we still slaves of intellectual terrorism?”
The music of the film is being scored by Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dev Nath. It is not just another period or historical film; it’s a cinematic debate. The film dives into this contested narrative, blending social commentary with a re-examination of historical facts, ensuring it will be as thought-provoking as it is dramatic.
The Taj Story is set for a grand nationwide theatrical release on 31st October 2025, and it aims to be a conversation starter, urging viewers to question, reflect, and perhaps, reframe the way they see both history and freedom.
