Saeed Mirza is known for his work which always have a social commentary. The movie is well made with relatable characters. (relatable at least to people who live there or are familiar with the time and place of the movie).
Salim is a Muslim guy, uneducated due to circumstances and resourceful and rough as per his needs. He is unsatisfied with his position in society and wants to move up by any means initially. He is angry and dissatisfied with the way he and those around him are treated and wants to feel respected. The director brilliantly captures this with strong performance from Pavan Malhotra and rest of the cast.
It's been 30 years since this story about Muslim ghettos was made and the issues highlighted still exist. People are still divided on their identity. Still unsure about authorities. Still struggling. Still trying to gain respect.
