May 18, 2007, was an extremely dark day for the residents of the old city, Hyderabad. At around 1:15 pm, there was a blast at the 400-year-old Mecca Masjid and 16 people lost their lives, whereas hundreds were injured. While there is little information about the blasts, what followed the blasts were gruesome murders of police officers. Based on these events and inspired by the case files, director Anand Ranga brings to life, Shoot-out At Alair.
