Rehmat

Rehmat

Set in present-day Punjab, the film interweaves three narrative strands. One follows a young woman who shelters and tends to an injured man while hiding him from the authorities. Another centers on a household marked by the disappearance of the father and children growing up without him and an elderly grandfather compelled to resume the role of family head. The third story introduces an old man who arrives in a village claiming 'to be God'. Naseeruddin Shah portrays Rashid Ali, whose family left Punjab just before the 1947 Partition reshaped the region’s borders; after decades in England, he returns to the village of his birth, confronting memory, belonging, and the splinters of history.
