Plot Summary
Bachchan is a biographical true-life incident of the social tax movement in India harnessed by industrialist Sardar Inder Singh.

The movie intermingles cinematic elements with the real-life incident to present an exciting plot of events.
Mr. Bachchan Where to Watch
Mr. Bachchan will make his Netflix debut starting September 12, 2024. An early digital release is a good way to see the movie for those who missed it in theatres and will watch it in the comfort of their homes.
Despite getting a mediocre response at the box office, Mr. Bachchan is likely to wow a different set of audiences on the OTT platform. After all, missing an action-packed drama boasting an ensemble cast with a gripping storyline wouldn’t be pretty cool.
