In the heart of a snow-blanketed, politically fractured Kashmir, a young man’s search for his missing father unravels a web of betrayal and moral decay. Shahid Kapoor delivers a searing performance as Haider, a poet returning home to find his world shattered by conflict and his mother, Ghazala (Tabu), entangled in a complex relationship with his enigmatic uncle, Khurram (Kay Kay Menon). As Haider’s quest for truth descends into an obsession for revenge, he is guided and manipulated by the mysterious Roohdar (Irfan Khan), while finding fragile solace in the love of Arshia (Shraddha Kapoor). Directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, this gripping adaptation is a potent fusion of crime thriller and tragic romance, set against a backdrop where personal vengeance collides with national insurgency, forcing every character to confront the haunting cost of loyalty and the blurred lines between justice and ruin.
