‘Halla Bol’ deals with the inner conflict of an individual in society over whether to listen to the voice of his conscience and speak up against the prevailing injustice around him or remain ensconced in his own comfortable and cocooned world.
According to director Raj Kumar Santoshi,”The basic essence of ‘Halla Bol’, the literal meaning of which is “war cry”, is that if injustice is being done to anyone or anywhere, then one needs to raise his voice against it in unison.
Today, it is happening to others. Tomorrow it could happen to you,”
