Razakar is a periodic film based on true historical events which revolves around the Razakars who were the paramilitary volunteer force of the nationalist party in the Hyderabad State under the British Raj. Formed in 1938 by the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen leader Bahadur Yar Jung, the film depicts the struggle in the erstwhile Hyderabad State after India gained independence on August 15, 1947 and how people faced oppression from the ruthless Razakars before their rule ended.
