While you see and hear of a village being transformed into a slaughterhouse, you will try to absorb the fact that this happened in reality. Also, you will realize that this is the story of just one family. How many more were affected by these riots? How many more are effected by all the terrorism around the world year after year?

It’s a story that needs to be heard; a film that needs to be seen; performances that need to be savoured. And a Parzania (heaven) that needs to be built on planet Earth. If Sarika pitches in the finest act of her entire career as the mother who can’t even mourn her son because she wants her daughter to forget the terror, then Naseer creates a whole new body language of grief, frustration and pure rage.

Based on a true-life incident, this tale of our times narrates the plight of a Parsi couple searching for their young son who went missing since the riots broke out in Gujarat in 2002. They could well be searching for humanity.

It’s about the horrors endured by a Parsi family in Ahmedabad – father Cyrus (Naseeruddin Shah), mother Shernaz (Sarika), son Parzan (Parzan Dastur), daughter Dilshad (Pearl Barsiwala) – when the son goes missing after the post-Godhra riots, and there’s a point later on when Cyrus ends up at the local movie hall, where he works as projectionist.

Parzania is one of those films that leave you wounded for good. Long after the film you won't be able to forget even the smallest character….the young Hindu boy who saves Sarika and her daughter from rioters, his debauched chacha who redeems himself by telling the truth about what happened during the riots, the rioter who lets the cowering Muslim girl escape….
