Summary
- 'The Taj Story' film explores the mystery of 22 sealed rooms in the Taj Mahal
- Controversy over the film's claims about the monument's history prior to release

On 31 October 2025, Paresh Rawal's latest film, 'The Taj Story', was released in cinemas. Directed by Tushar Amrish Goel, the film explores the mystery surrounding the 22 sealed rooms inside the iconic Taj Mahal and challenges the historical narrative that people have long believed.
Alongside Rawal, the film also stars Zakir Hussain, Amruta Khanvilkar, Namit Das, and Sneha Wagh in important roles. However, just before its nationwide release, 'The Taj Story' found itself at the center of controversy. Two Public Interest Litigations (PILs) were filed, demanding a ban on the film and a review of its certification, claiming that it misrepresented historical facts about the Taj Mahal.
