Their task was to spot whether each headline depicted a true event or a made-up movie plot.
The game included stories about figures like Adik Kadam, Capt. Yashika Hatwal Tyagi, a NASA engineer, and Col. DPK Pillai. Throughout, the cast engaged with stories highlighting real Indian resilience and bravery, often blurring the line between fact and cinematic fiction.
