Synopsis I
Hawayein - Winds change but scars of history remain - is a film which
emerges from the consequences of the BlueStar operation & based on the
aftermath of Mrs. Indira Gandhi's assassination. The riots in Delhi &
other places in India & the subsequent victimisation of the people in Punjab
in the years that followed. This film depicts protagonist 'Sarabjit.' It
is the story of his journey from innocence to disillusionment, from being
simple, romantic, and music loving student to becoming on of the most
wanted terrorists in the country. This film is an honest exploration of the
reasons which led to the angst of the youth of Punjab & the turmoil
suffered by their families.
It is the story of a time
When innocents were forced to rebel against injustice & labelled by
existing government
When political motivations created terrorists out of common criminals
When the nation's watchdogs became greedy, heartless money-making
murderer use machines
When the soft sound of the wind created unspeakable fear in the minds
of people in Punjab
A time created by an important administration & judiciary & the silence
of the intelligentsia. A time which saw the beginning of the cross border
terrorism in India.
It exposes the real reason of Pakistan participating in & actively
aiding terrorism in Punjab. This film is the first of its kind subjects to be
made and has been crafted within commercial parameters.
The production values of this are on par with most major commercial
Bollywood films. It has been shot in more than 41 authentic &
picturesque locations in Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, and Delhi & on massive sets in Kamalistan Studio Mumbai. No effort has been spared in the making of this film. This film will also shatter previous stereotypes of Sikh Hindi
screen.
Synopsis II
Overnight, life’s become like a shattered chandelier. As a Sikh family prepares for a girl’s wedding, they get the news of Indira Gandhi’s assassination. Their plans go haywire as ugly riots soon break out in Delhi.
Ammtoje Mann’s Hawayein uses the 1984 assassination event as a backdrop to talk about how a music-loving college student gets converted into a trigger-happy terrorist. Till a point, the film moves you with its starkness – the riot sequences are truly powerful. The problem is that things get too predictable in the second half, as Ammtoje uses elements often seen in Hindi films.
Sarabjit (Ammtoje himself) is having a peaceful time wooing wannabe journalist Muskaan (Aanandi Tripathi). Though she initially rejects his advances, he finally manages to win her heart.
