The story unfolds on February 24, 2020, a day marked by stark contrasts in the capital. While Delhi hosted U.S. President Donald Trump for the “Namaste Trump” event, the city simultaneously witnessed devastating riots that claimed 53 lives. The narrative connects the anti-CAA protests in Shaheen Bagh with the events that escalated into widespread violence, offering a glimpse into one of the most polarizing periods in recent history.

Filmmaker Devendra Maalviya captures the intensity of this day using a single-shot technique, a feat that required seamless coordination of acting, choreography, lighting, and set design. Maalviya shared that the format creates a deeply immersive experience, drawing audiences into the heart of the story. He described the process as both creatively demanding and rewarding, highlighting the effort involved in portraying such a chaotic and emotional event without any cuts.

 

In addition to exploring the riots, the film also touches upon the struggles faced by Hindu minorities in neighbouring countries, including issues like forced conversions, violence, and systemic oppression. The narrative sheds light on the dreams of those seeking safety in India, adding another layer of depth to the film's themes.

The cast features notable actors such as Brijendra Kala, Samar Jai Singh, Sidharth Bhardwaj, Bhoopesh Singh, Chetan Sharma, and Akash Arora, whose performances bring authenticity to the story.

Maalviya, who started as an aspiring actor in Mumbai before venturing into independent filmmaking, emphasises that impactful stories can be told without the support of major studios. With 2020 Delhi, he showcases the potential of creative storytelling and determination, offering inspiration to filmmakers across the country.
