Synopsis

Our take

Set against the backdrop of the beautiful but heavily militarised conflict zone Kashmir, Tahaan lovingly presents a life-affirming tale of innocence and friendship. The young lead actor Purav Bhandare delivers a heart-warming performance as a hopeful child growing up in a war-torn land.
