2020 Delhi is an Indian Hindi-language feature film scheduled for theatrical release on 22 May 2025. [1] Directed by Devendra Maalviya and produced by Nandkishore Malviya, Ashu Malviya, and Amit Malviya, the film is made under the banner of Midas Touch Films. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] It features an ensemble cast including Brijendra Kala, Samar Jai Singh, Bhupesh Singh, Siddharth Bhardwaj, Devendra Maalviya, Chetan Sharma, Akashdeep Arora, Diksha Asthana, Vicky Yadav, and others. [7] [8] The film is notable for being India’s first full-length commercial one-shot feature film—shot entirely in a single continuous take. [9] [10] [11] [12] [13]
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. Told through a single unbroken shot, the film captures the tension, terror, and unraveling of civil life during one of India’s most debated modern crises.
As the city descends into chaos, individuals from different walks of life are caught in a web of fear, ideology, and misinformation. Violence erupts on the streets, identities are questioned, and the line between truth and propaganda blurs. The film does not follow a traditional hero’s journey—instead, it presents an immersive, ground-level view of how ordinary citizens become part of extraordinary events.
2020 Delhi refrains from taking sides and instead presents a brutal, unfiltered look at the human cost of polarization. Through powerful imagery, naturalistic performances, and real-time storytelling, the film challenges viewers to re-examine what they thought they knew about the events of 2020.
More than just a film, 2020 Delhi serves as an eye-opener—offering a cinematic experience that confronts, questions, and refuses to let the audience look away. [14] [15] [16] [17]
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. [18] [19] [20] [21]
The film’s score is composed by Saurabh Mehta.
2020 Delhi is scheduled for release in theatres across India on 22 May 2025. [22]
