Manto

In 1946, Saadat Hasan Manto, a renowned Urdu writer, navigates the glittering world of Bombay's film industry as he works on his stories. But as sectarian violence engulfed the nation, Manto made a difficult choice to leave behind his beloved city and its friends, including Shyam Chadda, a friend and inspiration for many of his tales. His decision sets him on a path of isolation, self-discovery, and struggle in Lahore, where he must confront the vulnerabilities of his new reality, relentless court trials, and his own failing health.
