Summary:

A family drama set in 1992 in the days preceding the demolition of the Babari Masjid by Hindu fanatics. Naseem is a schoolgirl in a middle-class Bombay Muslim family. She enjoys a warm relationship with her aged, grandfather who regales her with poetry and stories of life in pre-Independence Agra. With increasing horror the family watches the news of the build-up while the Naseem's brother tends towards terrorist measures of resistance, which pushes him towards Muslim fundamentalist circles. The film culminates with the death of the grandfather as the news of the mosque's destruction is received.
