About Main Vaapas Aaunga
The film tells the story of a 95-year-old man who suffers a stroke while desperately trying to rush to Pakistan. His grandson is able to piece together bits and pieces from a pre-partition past as the old man drifts in and out of recollection, but struggles to find peace in his final days. The film attempts to understand the human impact long after the borders were drawn.
Talking about the film, Imtiaz told ANI, “To move forward, it is not necessary to forget the past. I feel that it is very important to keep the past open. One should not pretend. For a tree to grow taller, it never stops strengthening its roots. As it reaches greater heights, it continues to grow deeper roots to support and sustain that growth. I feel that to go forward, one needs to clarify and be in touch with their past also.”
“I don’t like this whole thing of escapism. People often say — Forget it, move ahead, don’t remember. I feel that you should remember. Open your heart. It will not stop you from progress,” Imtiaz added.
