I can either focus on the accolades or the controversies. But I chose to focus on the praise and not the turds.
This is the whole argument
On December 24, 1999, an Indian Airlines plane was hijacked. On which this whole story was based. This plane was hijacked by 5 terrorists from Kathmandu and taken to Delhi, where it remained for some time. The terrorists then flew the plane to Kandahar, Afghanistan. The plane was stopped here. The names of the 5 terrorists on board were given codenames: Chief, Doctor, Burger, Bhola and Shankar. The controversy surrounding the names of these code words deepened.
