What does Halahal mean?
Many people are confused about the title of the movie. It seems like a unique word and not many people know the meaning behind it. The title is perplexing and there was a lot of intelligence put behind in naming the movie Halahal. Halahal in literal terms means venom. When it comes to the concept of the film the title Halahal fits perfectly.
What is the plot of Halahal?
Halahal has a backdrop of Ghaziabad, and it surrounds the background of the Vyapam Scam. Don’t be confused as this is not a real-life story and doesn’t involve any victim of the scam. The movie starts off in thriller-style and ends on a high note.
The plot of the movie revolves around a woman who is chasing a man. The movie focuses on the ‘accidental’ death of a woman and she is seen running over by a truck. The mystery thriller moves forward when the father of this woman is adamant on proving that this isn’t a suicide and is not a planned murder.

How are the performances of the actors in Halahal?
The spot-on story and screenplay are outstanding and the same is the case with the casting. The film stars veteran actor Sachin Khedekar.

Barun Sobti gives his career-best in the movie. He has played the good buy characters with a shade of grey in the past but here, he plays an immoral and sleazy policeman whose world runs around money.
