Tight, fast-paced action flick, 'Sikandar' is all about the usual host of issues that leap to one's mind with Kashmir i.e. violence, jihad, deadly weapons, army and the militancy. Yet, 'Sikandar' is also about something else that is new and refreshingly different-encroached childhood. The plot is complicated but racy, with a number of nail-biting twists in the story-line. Sikandar Raza (Parzan Dastur) is a fourteen year old schoolboy in Kashmir, orphaned when his parents were brutally killed by terrorists. He lives with his aunt and uncle in a small town in Kashmir and playing football rules his world. One day, on his way home from a school football match, he finds a gun lying on the path. Despite admonishments by his newly made school friend, Nasreen (Ayesha Kapoor), Sikandar picks up the gun unleashing the darker side in him.
