Synopsis:Eight-year-old Tahaan will do anything to get his best friend Birbal back. When Tahaan's grandfather dies, much of the family's assets are seized, including their pet donkey Birbal. Tahaan embarks on a treacherous journey to regain his beloved friend, one that takes him over the same mountains where his father disappeared three years earlier. Tahaan's courage is tested as he interacts with eccentric local personalities and is naively pulled into a terrorist plot to sneak a grenade across a military checkpoint. Against the backdrop of the soulful Kashmir Valley, director Santosh Sivan (The Terrorist) explores the topic of terrorism with an open mind. Sivan focuses on Tahaan's unfaltering love for his pet donkey and portrays the bravery and innate goodness of a young, innocent boy. Through Tahaan, Sivan captures loyalty and strength, demonstrating that even when in the company of terrorists, the goodness of a young boy can endure.
