Storyline
Shahid traces the true story of slain human rights activist and lawyer Shahid Azmi. From attempting to become a terrorist to being wrongly imprisoned under a draconian anti-terrorism law to becoming a criminal lawyer Shahid traces the inspiring personal journey of a boy who became an unlikely messiah for human rights while following the rise of communal violence in India. This story of an impoverished Muslim struggling to come to terms with injustice, inequality and rising above his circumstances is an inspiring testament to the human spirit. Written by Anonymous

Truth is pure, natural and simple. Hansal Mehta's Shahid focus on state of mind of a common man. A man sees the violence and brutality of world and then follows brutal way to end it. But After Realizing that an eye for an eye never earns anything but will leave the whole world blind. He runs away to live a life of man who could give justice to himself and others. Religion has nothing to do with the justice. The one who dies and the one who kills are human. Movie leaves a deep message for us by showing extra ordinary life of an ordinary man.
A must watch for those who is sick of bollywood bakwas masala. A very remarkable movie. All actor has played beautifully in this movie.
