Bombay
1946: Amidst the freedom struggle against the British Empire and the forewarning
of India being partitioned, Saadat Hasan Manto, a well-established short story
writer works in the glittering world of the Bombay film industry as a
scriptwriter. Although Manto has a tenuous relationship with the Progressive
Writers’ Association, many of its members are his close friends, including the
feminist writer, Ismat Chughtai. They are both acquitted from the charge of
obscenity for their respective works. Manto has many admirers and friends in
the film industry. The closest is Shyam Chadda, a charming budding actor and
Ashok Kumar, a famous actor, director and producer. But, his biggest supporter
and the unwavering pillar of strength is his wife, Safia. Soon after, India
gains independence on 15th August 1947 and the new nation of Pakistan is born.
Safia leaves for Lahore to attend her sister’s wedding. Despite flaring
Hindu-Muslim tensions, Manto decides to stay back in his beloved city of
Bombay. One day, Shyam, on hearing that his family was forced to flee Pakistan
because of a Muslim mob attack, tells Manto in anger: “I could have even killed
you.” Shocked and anguished, a non-practicing Muslim, Manto suddenly becomes
conscious of his religious identity and the vulnerabilities that come with it.
He impulsively makes the unimaginable decision of moving to Pakistan. Lahore,
1948: A melancholic city full of refugees, forsaken property, and burnt
buildings becomes Manto’s new home. He is left grappling with a growing sense
of isolation and a deep sense of betrayal. As he struggles to come to terms
with his new reality, he spirals into a state of perpetual drunkenness. Though
Safia continues to stand by him, their marriage begins to feel the strain.
Relentless and long-drawn court trials alleging obscenity in his story Thanda
Gosht. Literal meaning: Cold Meat) take a severe toll on his health and
finances. His statement in defense of literature and free speech is met with a
conviction. Despite this, he continues to pen some of his sharpest and most
courageous works. His compulsions to write and drink are in direct conflict
with his desire to see his family - wife and two daughters, happy and secure.
His failing health makes him hallucinate. Unable to see his family suffer any
longer, he finally admits himself into the alcohol rehabilitation center in
Lahore Mental Hospital. The main narrative is seamlessly interspersed with five
of his poignant stories. The last one being his most famous story - Toba Tek
Singh. Manto begins the story with, “two or three years after Partition, it
occurred to the governments of India and Pakistan to exchange their lunatics
like they had exchanged their criminals. The Muslim lunatics in India were to
be sent to Pakistan and the Hindu and Sikh lunatics in Pakistani asylums were
to be handed over to India.” The Sikh protagonist, who has vowed to remain
standing until he finds his village, lies in death in no-man’s land, between
the two nations. Manto’s predicament is not too different.

Falsafa
Falsafa
is the film written and directed by Himanshu Yadav. The film is produced by
Mehmood Ali.
Aman's
parents have been murdered and he is on a quest to seek revenge. On the other
hand, Isha's father is dead and she's convinced that it's a murder, and is
searching for the murderer. Their quest intertwines their lives with each
other. Revenge, as dramatic the word is so are its consequences. It is one
situation that plays so hard with human brain that he/she goes as far as
killing another human. Now the incident that triggers it makes revenge seem as
the only logical and rational option. However the irony is that when someone
seeks revenge he/she is so much consumed by the rage that one could hardly be
rational in his/her thinking. Aman has lost his parents, they are murdered and
he is orphaned at the age of 23. It is later discovered that the chairman of
the company for which Aman's father worked is prime suspect. Aman will not wait
for the law to take its course; he seeks revenge and will take his own justice.
In this quest of his, he meets Isha who had lost her father. In Isha's case
there is one popular point of view that her father committed suicide but she is
certain that it's a murder and knows who has killed her father. Both Aman and
Isha have vacant lives and one common purpose...to take revenge. Kill the
person who killed their parents. Taking another person's life doesn't come easy
to a common man, he/she has to be totally driven by a negative force that
compels them to perform this fiendish act. Otherwise Aman is just another boy,
an MBA graduate and has just started working. He has a fetish for leather
jackets, loved and drooled over his mother's hand made kheer. His was a small
family which had profound love amongst them. All was lost in one night. With
eyes filled in anger he now seeks revenge. However what he might be overlooking
is the fact that just the way he is after a person's life; may be his parents
might have wrongly affected someone's lives which ultimately lead to their
murder. Now he is doing exactly what his parent's killer did. Similarly with
Isha, who is so convinced about the killer of her Father that she is reluctant
to see the other side of the case and consider the counter opinion. This
particular situation of revenge blindfolds the person involved and doesn't let
him/her see the other side of it. Therefore it gradually becomes an infinite
loop and which consequences in dead bodies and huge amount of hatred for each
other. In the story both Aman and Isha experience this and make their
respective choices. From having wrong clues and leads of the killer he goes
through the troubled times that exhausts him emotionally but sticking to his
guts, circumstances and destiny finally lead him to the actual killer. In the
very end he has killer in front of him, gun in his hand pointed at him...and
there is a gunshot too. Someone dies and still no one is murdered. What Aman
does, exemplifies the right way of taking revenge. Revenge is a situation that
will create more graveyards and less paradise. Spilled blood and corpses can
never be an answer to a human loss.

film has Sushil Dahiya as Harish Bhatia, Tarun Dhingara – Mahadev, Ridhima
Grover, Sumit Gulati, Hareesh as Anirudh, Manit Joura, Padam Mishra, Geeta
