Hope and a Little Sugar

The primal forces of religious animosity pit a fledgling Muslim photographer and a retired Sikh Colonel from the Indian army on a dangerous collision course in director Tanuja Chandra's simmering post-9/11 drama. The setting is New York City, and the year is 2001. Colonel Oberoi's son has been killed in the September 11 terrorist attacks, and now the ageing military man has focused his rage onto Muslim Ali Siddiqui. Siddiqui is an honest man whose sole transgression was falling in love with Colonel Oberoi's widowed daughter in law. In an era where religion seems to divide the masses more than ever before, does love have the power to triumph over tragedy?
