Full Plot Details

Meenakshi Iyer comes from a devout Hindu Brahmin family, purely vegetarian, who not only abstain from meat, but also food from restaurants, is the only child, married to Subramaniam Iyer from Tamil Nadu, has just given birth to a young son, Santhanam, and is visiting her mom. It is then they receive news that her mother-in-law is ill and wants Meenakshi back home in Calcutta. The parents arrange to drop her and her son off at the bus-stand, where they are introduced to a young photographer named Raja Chowdhury. Meenakshi's parents ask Raja to look after her, to which he agrees. The bus starts off, taking it's passengers through scenic hillside. The bus driver comes across a sign that the regular road is closed and he decides to take another route. After a few hours the bus comes to a stop as there is a line-up of vehicles ahead. The passengers are told that there has been a terrorist attack on a train resulting in the death of about 200 people. The region, predominately Hindu, believe that the attack was carried out by Muslims and there is retaliation by Hindu extremists. Curfew has to be imposed by the police to prevent further riots and casualties. It is then that a Police Jeep containing Police Officer Raj Arora drives by, asking all passengers to board their respective vehicles, as the area is under curfew. The passengers comply, shut the door, and wait for the traffic to clear. It is now dark and the silence is broken by men with fire-lit torches asking the driver to open the door of the bus, which he does. A group of extremists ask the passengers to identify themselves, and prove to them that they are Hindus, some have to take their pants off. Meenakshi identifies Raja as her husband, Mani. A Jew loudly claims that there are only two Muslims and points to Iqbal Ahmed Khan and his wife Najma. Iqbal is taken off the bus, a visibly upset Najma follows him, and they are killed. It is then the truth unfolds that Raja is not the young man's name but he is Jehangir - a Muslim. An upset Meenakshi must now come to terms with her Brahmin background, which prevents her from coming into contact, drinking water, sharing food, with even a non-Brahmin, leave alone a Muslim, especially now that she has identified him as her "husband" to protect him from being killed. The question remains will this "marriage" last or will Jehangir be discovered before they reach Calcutta.

User Review - 10/10 by Eleena DThis is one of the most beautiful movies I have watched.........Every time I watch it I love it even more....
User Review - 10/10 by Private UThis movie is what more bollywood movies should aspire to be like. Wonderful acting by both leads. The story is marvelous.
User Review - 10/10 by Swetha APortrays a coy and subtle romance which passes through several hurdles along side of curfews and riots. Beautifully portrayed nd very touching as it makes its viewers carry back heavy hearts with them.
User Review - 10/10 by Santosh Dmovies dont get any better than this. Aparna's masterpiece, so of Konkona and Rahul too. I felt it was real the whole time, it has got that touch- and i felt so bad when the movie ended- i wanted it to go on and on. Very few movies has done that to me- probably none. My best Bollywood movie to date
User Review - 10/10 by Marisa Rthe best english indian film i've ever seen. hands down and by far. brilliant mix of hindi, bengali, tamil and english dialogue in an india that we never hear about - the outer forests and hills. and the dialogue is only beaten by the brilliant cinematography. since most of this movie is in at least one indian language, i suggest finding the youtube version with english subtitles; but all in all an epic milestone in filmmaking - indian or otherwise.
User Review - 10/10 by Rony PI really loved the movie. The tension and emotions of the two characters is so well handled in this movie.
User Review - 10/10 by Unber AOne of the best indian productions I've ever seen - superbly powerful dialogues leaving a profound impact on the viewer! A must-see!
User Review - 10/10 by shan MSoooo impressed...really interesting. Seriously.
User Review - 10/10 by Suveera AThe humanity in this gemstone film is touching to behold and the acting of Rahul Bose is beautiful to behold. This film teaches religion doesn't matter only friendship and caring for one another as human beings. This valuable lesson taught by director Sen should be applied in our everyday relationships with people. Of course this is not your average typical Bollywood musical movie - it is an exceptional art-house Indian film.
