Like most historical war films, The Ghazi Attack takes significant creative liberties for dramatic impact. The INS S21 is a fictionalized representation of the actual Indian submarines (such as the INS Karanj ) involved in the 1971 operations. The real-life sinking of the Ghazi did not involve a prolonged, cinematic underwater duel with torpedo exchanges, as conventional submarines of that era rarely engaged each other directly underwater.
