As the holy month of Ramzan coalesces with the festival of Holi, a small unknown film comes along to remind us that there is nothing really to choose between ‘Rahman’ and ‘Hanuman,’ that they are in fact two sides of the coin.

Of course, getting there is far more difficult than just pontificating on the oneness of mankind. Director Avinash Das, whose spunky fearless Anarkali Of Arrah was the surprise of its year, springs a charming heartwarming surprise again. This time, he rinses his rumination in mellow molecules of harmony.

This is a small film with long legs. Pithy and pungent, it takes us into two adjacent lanes in Lucknow where Hindus and Muslims coexist… until a politician, Ajay Tiwari, descends with his vote-bank politics.

What ensues is heartily amusing and profoundly grievous. Nothing that Das and his writer Punarvasu tell us here is startling or revealing. We all know...

Set to release on March 14th is Avinash Das’ outstanding Inn Galiyon Mein, starring Vivaan Shah and Avantika Dassani.

Set in the heart of Lucknow, Inn Galiyon Mein unfolds in a narrow lane where two communities have lived in harmony for generations, sharing festivals, joys, and sorrows. But in today’s age, social media, political agendas, and religious divisions threaten this fragile peace.

Amidst this turmoil, neighbors Shabbo and Hariya—one Muslim, the other Hindu—are played with vivacious charm by Vivaan Shah and Avantika Dassani. They harbor a love they dare not express, fearing the consequences of an increasingly intolerant world.

Overlooking their lives is Mirza’s tea stall, a place where both communities gather, united in conversation. A poet at heart and a believer in secularism, Mirza, played by Javed Jaffrey, stands as a bridge between love and discord, even as the tides of politics demand his sacrifice.
