The Deputy CM also unveiled the title and first-look poster, which features a burning bus and people in distress, alongside George Orwell’s powerful quote: "All are equal, but some are more equal than others."

Beyond its social commentary, 23 delves into themes of repentance and redemption, blending an intense narrative with a poignant love story. The film aims to be an emotionally charged cinematic experience that challenges perceptions and provokes deep reflection. The makers are expected to announce the theatrical release date soon.
