Trivia:

The character 'Parzan' is based upon a child named Azhar, a victim of the devastating Gujarati riots of 2002 who is still missing to this day. The parents of the child placed his picture in the end credits of the film in hopes that he is still alive and someone may recognize him.

one of the finest Indian movies to come out in the past 5 years

this is a brilliant movie.period.master performances by Sarika Naseeruddin shah bring out the trauma which was faced by the minority community in Gujarat following the train burning incident which occurred at the city of Godhra. based on a true story,the movie tells us about a family of Parsis who lost their son Parzan when their housing society was attacked by religious zealots.parzania is the imaginary land created by parzan where everything is g8 and everyone is happy. brilliantly directed ,

this is one of those few Indian movies which makes the viewer empathize with the characters without exploiting their sentiments.all the actors and the movie deserve national award.two-thumbs up.my rating:10/10
