There is something about today’s directors who seems like have taken an oath to change the face of Indian Cinema which is for surely welcome. Recently some of the flicks like Lunchbox, Madras Cafe to name few, which weren’t only authentic but also motivating, were respected for its courage to present the untouched topic. Joining them is Hansal Mehta who has a unique vision of using his non-materialistic concept to take the Indian cinema a few notches higher.
Portraying the inspiring life of Shahid Azmi who escapes from becoming a terrorist but finally choose a wise path of becoming a lawyer couldn’t be that easy for any filmmaker. But Mehta does it with honesty and without hurtling any regional sentiments.
Shahid (Raj Kumar Yadav) who is presumed as a terrorist completes his term of jail and comes out to continue his education and become an honest lawyer. Mostly, he fights for those innocents who are suspected to be involved in big terrorist attacks. This honest and trustful nature also invites death threats but he is unperturbed and continues to fight for them.
A short journey so encouraging which goes through pain, insult and humiliation is dealt with immense emotion.
