Merin Joseph chose courage over comfort, turning a tragic case of young girl into a landmark fight for justice. She broke barriers and crossed continents to bring back a fugitive who thought he could escape accountability. 

Mission Saudi is the story of her relentless determination, as she reshaped the meaning of justice for survivors everywhere.

A heinous crime.

A criminal beyond reach.

Mission Saudi is the gripping true story of India’s first-ever extradition of a sexual predator from Saudi Arabia—a landmark case that tested the limits of international law, diplomacy and courage.

Me & My team @ekamnyaay Foundation attended 2nd edition of @crimeliterature festival in Dehradun

Three days of immense learning from ace police officers, filmmakers, authors, crime investigators & journalists

We shared our work with each of them & got so much appreciation, acknowledgement & encouragement

What i totally loved about this festival is that no matter how highly placed a speaker was, almost all of them were there for 2-3 days, listening to each other & valuing the work being done by all

In-depth discussions on some really pertinent issues related to field of crime, all sessions were really well curated by organizers

Closing ceremony with performance of my dearest friend @IAmKaranOberoi was cherry on the cake

Applauds to entire team CLFI for putting together such a brilliant and enriching event. Thankyou for having us there @AshokKumar_IPS sir @maanas_lal
@alokelal sir

Honour meeting you @neerajkumarexcp @navsekera sir

The music grows on you when the context in the film accompanies it. The use of classics like ‘Abhi Na Jao’, ‘Aaj Mausam’ & ‘Mast Bahraon Ka’ adds even more fun to the sassy narrative. I left the cinema with a smile that still sits on my lips.

See you at the movies! 🍿(n/n)

[Maanas Lal @maanas_lal]

Every once in a while you need a reminder of your bearings. #RockyAurRaniKiiPremKahani (@DharmaMovies ) served as that much needed nudge for me. It turned me into the 90s kid in awe of good ol’ Bollywood. (1/n)

[Maanas Lal @maanas_lal]

The dialogue writers are the true heroes of this saga even though @RanveerOfficial is at his electric best. @aliaa08 is effortless as usual and has dealt another death blow to peddlers of the nepotism card. (4/n)
