”Firaaq”, a Urdu word which means Separation or Quest is set in the Indian state of Gujarat when it was reeling under the spate of some horrific riots in the Spring of 2002. Directed by Nandita Das, the film’s an emotional tale of the anger, shame, guilt, indifference felt in the aftermath of the riots .
A month after the mayhem, “Firaaq” traverses the life of a muslim couple who returns to their home only to find that it has been completely burnt, a singer who’s rather oblivious to the hatred and chaos outside the four walls, a couple who are planning to move to Delhi amidst the terror, a family where the lady is still hanuted by screams and cannot tolerate the indifference shown by her bigoted husband and brother-in-law and a young boy who’s in search of his father.
