Road To Sangam (U)

 

A simple story of a God-fearing, devout Muslim mechanic named Hashmat Ullah (Rawal) who has been entrusted the job of repairing an old V8 Ford engine, not knowing the historic significance that it once carried the ashes of Mahatma Gandhi which were immersed in the holy river Sangam. He is caught in a complex situation after a powerful bomb explosion rocks his town leading to the arrest of innocent Muslim youth of his locality. A strike to work is called by the prominent leaders (Om Puri, Pavan Malhotra) of his community to protest against the unjust treatment meted out to those arrested youth by the police. Will he support the protest and abandon the repair of the engine or go against the wishes of his community.

Road To Sangam

By Taran Adarsh
One look at the promos of Road To Sangam and you realize that this isn`t one of those films you watch every week. Road To Sangam, in fact, pricks your conscience and mirrors a reality. Wars have been fought and are still being fought in the name of religion. Road To Sangam tries to seek answers to the burning issue and in the process, also talks of partition and the Muslims in present-day India. Made with honest intentions, this one`s targeted at connoisseurs of cinema.

Road To Sangam

By Mayank Shekhar
It isn't acknowledged often enough that Gandhi, the father to this nation, was victim (this day, 62 years ago) to a Hindu fanatic's bullet. Decades later, Gandhi and his sworn secular followers were shamed further by a government that came to power in this country, pretty much over a desecrated mosque. To simply suggest the rise of Islamic fundamentalism (in India) as response to that episode (or any other) would be to miss the trees for the woods. Insecure ghettos alone breed fanaticism of any kind. Love for God is a private affair. These insular, claustrophobic ghettos, built around a single community, are relatively easy to politicise. The rich of the lot become their natural patrons. Sense of nation-state isn't adequately strong. Qom (community; largely neighbours) come first. The director of this film walks into one such hamlet to help us experience its dynamics.
