The plot is deceptively simple, told with effective simplicity. It is just another day in the life of a handful of characters struggling to come to terms with the horror of the Gujarat genocide. Old `ustaad’ Khan Saheb ( Naseer), and his faithful companion Karim ( Raghubir) wonder if the sound of a `raag’ will ever reverberate again in their house. Sanjay ( Paresh) is an unapologetic defender of the Hindu right, getting off , in equal measure, on looting shops and slapping his wife ( Deepti). Half-and-half Sameer Shaikh ( Sanjay) is on the verge of fleeing to Delhi, where he thinks his mixed parentage won’t cause him as much grief. An auto-rickshaw driver and his wife ( Shahana) come back to their tiny room, to find it vandalized. And a little child wanders through the dark night, looking for his lost father : the rest of his family was slain during the riots.
