What happens

Bhagavan (transl. God) is a 2009 Indian Malayalam-language medical drama film written and directed by Prasanth Mambully, starring Mohanlal and Daniel Balaji. The story is about Dr. Balagopal who fights a terrorist group led by Saifudeen who attacks his hospital. The entire film was shot in 19 hours aiming for the Guinness World Records, but citing technical issues it did not receive the record. The film was shot simultaneously at six different locations. Seven cameras were used for filming. The film was originally planned to be shot within 12 hours, but unexpected rain delayed the shooting. Bhagavan was released on 1 May 2009. Even though the film received mixed reviews, it recovered its cost and made some profit as it was made on a low cost and filmed in a single day. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
