    • Synopsis
    • In an optimistic India waiting to be free from British colonial rule, the partition from Pakistan soon pits neighbor against neighbor. During this period, Manto - one of history’s greatest short story writers - is torn between his beloved Bombay and moving to Pakistan. As his stories shine a light on the dark underbelly of society that so many chose to ignore, he must fight to clear himself from charges of obscenity and maintain his freedom.
