== Plot ==<br />
The film is set between June and December 1992, the days preceding the infamous demolition of the structure of [[Babri Masjid]] at [[Ayodhya]] in the [[India]]n province of [[Uttar Pradesh]] by misguided groups. The relationship between Naseem, a 15-year-old schoolgirl belonging to a middle class [[Bombay]] based [[Muslim]] family and her ailing grandfather takes the story forward as the family watches with increasing horror on their TV the news of the growing tension between Muslims and Hindus. The grandfather keeps regaling her with stories of life marked by communal harmony in the pre-independence city of [[Agra]]. As communal tension erupts in the city of Bombay, Naseem notices changing dynamics at her school and in the neighborhood, while her grandfather watches helplessly at a city getting deeply divided on communal lines. The old man dies on 6 December coinciding with the news of the destruction of the mosque.<ref name=Naseem /><ref>{{cite web|url=http://upperstall.com/profile/saeed-akhtar-mirza/|title= Profile-Saeed Akhtar Mirza|publisher=Upper Stall|accessdate=2 July 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sacw.net/article5418.html|title= Naseem – A film by Saeed Akhtar Mirza in 1995|publisher=South Asia Citizen's Web|date=31 August 2013|accessdate=2 July 2015}}</ref><br />
