Manto

Directed by Nandita Das

With Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Rasika Dugal, Tahir Raj Bhasin, Feryna Wazheir and Javed Akhtar

In Bombay's seedy-shiny film world, Manto and his stories are widely read and accepted. But as sectarian violence engulfs the nation, Manto makes the difficult choice of leaving his beloved Bombay. In Lahore, he finds himself bereft of friends and unable to find takers for his writings.
