Tahaan, directed by Santosh Sivan is a heart warming tale of a young boy named Tahaan and his faithful friend, a donkey, named Birbal. The movie truly depicts the environment of rural Kashmir, where shooting bullets and dead bodies are a routine.
One specific scene which will truly touch your heart is, when Tahaan goes out to the search Birbal and encounters a group of children playing “Chor-Police”. Half of them are militants and rest half the army. This scene truly depicts the irony, horror and unending tragedy of the paradise lost-Kashmir.
