Based on the Bhopal disaster that happened in India on 2–3 December 1984, the film stars Martin Sheen, Mischa Barton, Kal Penn, Rajpal Yadav, Tannishtha Chatterjee and Fagun Thakrar. Benjamin Wallfisch composed the film's music. Kumar's idea for making a film based on the Bhopal disaster came after he read Sanjoy Hazarika's book: "Bhopal: Lessons of a Gas Tragedy" about it. Shot over a period of 18 months, it was originally scheduled for a late 2010 release. However, the lack of responses from distributors kept delaying the release. ## Credits - **Director:** [Ravi Kumar](https://cinepixo.com/people/ravi-kumar) - **Original Music Composer:** [Benjamin Wallfisch](https://cinepixo.com/people/benjamin-wallfisch) - **Producer:** [Ravi Walia](https://cinepixo.com/people/ravi-walia) - **Director of Photography:** [Charlie Wuppermann](https://cinepixo.com/people/charlie-wuppermann) ## Cast - [Tannishtha Chatterjee](https://cinepixo.com/people/tannishtha-chatterjee) - [Rajpal Yadav](https://cinepixo.com/people/rajpal-yadav) - [Vineet Kumar](https://cinepixo.com/people/vineet-kumar) - [Martin Brambach](https://cinepixo.com/people/martin-brambach) - [Satish Kaushik](https://cinepixo.com/people/satish-kaushik) - [Kal Penn](https://cinepixo.com/people/kal-penn) - [Mischa Barton](https://cinepixo.com/people/mischa-barton) - [Fagun Ivy Thakrar](https://cinepixo.com/people/fagun-ivy-thakrar) - [Martin Sheen](https://cinepixo.com/people/martin-sheen) as Warren Anderson - [Lisa Dwan](https://cinepixo.com/people/lisa-dwan) ## Criticism on CinePixo No reviews published yet.
