Story


Shoot on Sight is a 2008 Hollywood action,drama,thriller film released on Oct 17, 2008. The film is directed by Jagmohan Mundhra, produced by Aron Govil.

A man is torn between his faith, his family, and his profession in this taut thriller. Tariq Ali (Naseeruddin Shah) was born in Pakistan and raised in a Muslim household by parents who later emigrated to London, but he's been willing to set a certain amount of his cultural identity aside in order to advance his career in law enforcement. Tariq is married to Susan (Greta Scacchi), who is both British and Christian, and they're raising two children, Zara (India Wadsworth) and Imran (Arrun Harker). Tariq's intelligence and professionalism have helped him become a top detective at Scotland Yard. He is asked to hunt-down suspected suicide-bombers against the backdrop of July 7 bombings in London. But Tariq's task gets complicated, when a suspected Muslim terrorist is shot and killed by police, Tariq is assigned to investigate in hopes of defusing public anger over the incident. As Tariq looks into the victim's background as well as the actions of the police, Tariq - a British citizen is himself a suspect in the eyes of his boss, despite his long service in the Scotland Yard, when the media uncovers evidence of Tariq's friendship with Junaid (Om Puri), an outspoken Islamic leader who is believed to be linked to several terrorist groups.
