Pandit Usman | Short Film | Akram Hassan | Swanand Kirkire | Kumud Mishra | Heeba Shah

A light-hearted human story around a 9-year-old boy amidst all the aggression and hostility that's prevailing in our society based on colour, creed, religious affiliation etc. When a man of particular faith undergoes a heart transplant, the new heart he receives is of a man from another faith. Next to follow is a roller coaster ride, a comedy of error where a man from one particular faith is enjoying the best of both worlds (religion) after his heart transplant. Contrary to his new acquired idea of love and togetherness, people around him look at him in contempt because of his new avatar and mixed practices. Set in North India, Pandit Usman is interwoven around him and his 9-year-old son.
