The Taj Story Movie Release Date
The Taj Story, the much-talked-about courtroom drama starring Paresh Rawal, will hit theatres on October 31, 2025. That’s right, Diwali hangovers may still be around, but Bollywood is already gearing up for a film that promises both controversy and curiosity. It’s that perfect post-festival mood when everyone’s ready for something bold to talk about over cutting chai. Honestly, films like this remind us that Indian cinema still dares to poke at old tales, even sacred ones.
What’s the Movie About?
At its core, The Taj Story is a courtroom drama, but not the predictable “Your Honour, objection!” kind we’ve seen a dozen times before. Paresh Rawal plays Vishnu Das, a curious, slightly stubborn tour guide who files a case to uncover the “true” story behind the Taj Mahal. Think of it as history class if your professor also happened to be grilling witnesses in court. The trailer already hints at tense exchanges, emotional appeals, and an unexpected proposal for wait for it, a DNA test of the Taj Mahal.
That moment itself made social media erupt in disbelief and laughter. Someone on X (formerly Twitter) even joked, “Next season of CSI: Agra maybe?” These little sparks of humor are what keep heavy topics like this approachable, and to be honest, that blend is part of what makes Indian filmmaking so delightfully messy and alive.
Cast and Crew
Here’s where the film gets seriously stacked. Alongside Paresh Rawal, the lineup includes:
-
Zakir Hussain (as the opposing lawyer)
-
Amruta Khanvilkar
-
Namit Das
-
Sneha Wagh
-
Brijendra Kala
-
Shishir Sharma
-
Akhilendra Mishra
The film is written and directed by Tushar Amrish Goel, a filmmaker who clearly isn’t afraid of public debate. It’s backed by CA Suresh Jha under Swarnim Global Services Pvt. Ltd., and based on interviews, both seem determined to “spark conversation, not controversy.” Though, well, in India, that line is thinner than the marble on the Taj itself.
Where to Watch
For now, The Taj Story is a theatrical release only. The makers haven’t confirmed its OTT release date, but rumors suggest Zee5 might pick it up later. Personally, though, this seems like the kind of film you want to watch in a cinema surrounded by gasps, giggles, and maybe a few nervous coughs when the dialogue cuts too close to home.
Final Thoughts
It’s been a while since a Bollywood film dared to mix courtroom intensity with historical speculation. Love it or hate it, The Taj Story is coming to make people talk in living rooms, news channels, and maybe even WhatsApp family groups. And honestly, that’s kind of the point. Whether the film sides with fact, faith, or something in between, one thing’s certain: come October 31, everyone will have an opinion on The Taj Story.
And maybe, just maybe, that’s the real story we’re all part of.
