Licence is a 2026 Indian Haryanvi-language crime thriller written and directed by Ranjeet Chauhan. Produced by Shakuntalam Film Production, the film stars Masoom Sharma, Yashpal Sharma, Sapna Choudhary, Rakhi Lohchab, and Nisha Sharma. Set against the backdrop of bureaucracy and social inequality, the story follows an ordinary fruit vendor whose desperate attempt to secure a gun licence leads him into an increasingly dangerous web of deception and crime.
Satta, a humble fruit vendor, repeatedly finds his application for a gun licence rejected because of his social standing. Feeling vulnerable and ignored by the authorities, he devises a risky plan with a group of friends to stage a fake attack on himself, hoping the incident will convince officials that he genuinely needs protection.
What begins as a carefully planned deception soon takes an unexpected turn when the police launch a thorough investigation. As hidden truths begin to emerge, Satta’s fabricated story unravels into a much darker mystery connected to his past. Forced to confront the consequences of his actions, he finds himself caught between the law, dangerous criminals, and the truth he has been trying to hide.

Cinematography is handled by Vikas K. Sharma, while Hittarth Sardana serves as the editor.
Licence was released in Indian theaters on April 24, 2026. As of now, the film has not announced an official OTT or digital streaming release. Updates regarding its streaming availability are expected in the coming months.
