Sinopsis

In an optimistic India waiting to be free from British colonial rule, the partition from Pakistan soon pits neighbor against neighbor. During this period, Manto - one of history’s greatest short story writers - is torn between his beloved Bombay and moving to Pakistan. As his stories shine a light on the dark underbelly of society that so many chose to ignore, he must fight to clear himself from charges of obscenity and maintain his freedom.

This is the tale of two emerging nations, two faltering cities and one man who tries to make sense of it all.
