Film Hindi  (Indian Film)


The title may be confusing but the story is very interesting. Good neighbourhood and companionship communities have managed to hold a gathering between Christian and Muslim families. The story of the movie revolves around this idea. Two friends Sayed (Muslim) and Atef (Christian) personify the true meaning of friendship, in spite of their different religions. Both of them put higher consideration for their friendship over many other important considerations in life.
