A new Hindi film seeks to probe a romantic relationship across the Hindu-Muslim divide. The film is a love story about a Muslim girl with a Hindu boy. The film was based on the true-life story of Bhatt's Muslim mother and Hindu father.
All hell breaks loose when the girl's family discovers the truth.
Communal riots break out on the streets of Mumbai as the lovers attempt to escape the frenzy which they have unknowingly triggered. Binny, who is from Kashmir, says he was warned by his colleagues and friends in the Mumbai film industry against making a film on a Hindu-Muslim romance. But he went ahead with it regardless. The film depicts scenes of mob violence after the two lovers elope. A film on an extremely sensitive issue such as intercommunal romance requires considerable nurturing and Binny is one of the few directors in recent times to have tackled this subject.
