'Sehar' mean morning in Urdu is a small yet promising movie that is already being noticed for its hard-hitting appeal. A movie that marks a tangential shift for Arshad Warsi's image! If you can visualize Arshad Warsi only in comic characters, be prepared for a surprise. Sehar will change your vision. Sehar teams up the Kuch Meetha Ho Jaye pairing of Arshad Warsi and Mahima Chaudhary along with Pankaj Kapur, Sushant Singh and a horde of seasoned theatre artists.

Produced by Ashvin J Patel, under the banner of Choice Films, Seher is written and directed by debutante Kabeer Kaushik. The movie has music by Daniel B George and lyrics by Swanand Kirkire and Dr. Nilanjana Kishore.

Synopsis

The film, inspired by real-life incidents, delineates the journey of a newly appointed 31-year old SSP of Lucknow Ajay Kumar (Arshad Warsi), instrumental in bringing together a group of committed police officers under the aegis of Special Task Force.

The force, bequeathed with a single agenda, succeeds in challenging the might of organized crime in Uttar Pradesh.

And in the process, what unfolds is the ever-changing dynamics of Uttar Pradesh's siyaasat: railway contracts, ISI involvement, politician-Mafia-police-builder nexus, pro-activism of criminal gangs, sophisticated yet rigid red-tape and criminalization of University students.

In a way, nothing was new.

The only thing different was the approach. And at the end that made the difference.
