Awwal Allah Noor Upaya Qudrat Keh Sub Banday Aik Noor Keh Sub Jag Upajiya Kaun Bhale Ko Mandhe

God created light of which all the beings were born And from this light, the universe; so who is good and who is bad

The movie starts with this message and concludes with the same.

AS rightly pointed by a sadhu in the beginning of the movie, I speak of what I observe; you are quoting the writing on a piece of paper.

The result of the misinterpretation of scriptures is communal tension, hatred, terrorism in the name of jehad and growing orthodoxy even when the man has reached moon.

Loving each and every entity created by god, irrespective of its caste colour and race, whether it's human or an animal...That's what religion is. Anything which provokes hatred, orthodoxy and communal carnage, cannot be God's religion.

The movie redefines 'dharm' through a very simple and lovely story. The cinematography capturing Banaras is awesome. And the best part of the movie is Pankaj kapoor's acting.
