Nandita Das had the special screening for movie Firaaq. The movie will hit the theatres on Friday and from what we he hear the movie is good. Amongst the celebs who gathered for the screening most noticeable was Rahul Gandhi. He complemented Nandita by saying that he could not believe that she had made the entire movie entirely on her own. Nandita seemed impresses and she will be looking forward to the response of the audiences when the movie hits the theaters.

The plot of the movie revolves around the riots that took place in the year of 2002 in Gujarat. The movie displays how the lives of people involved in the riot got affected and the changes that took place in their life after the riots were over. She has beautifully displayed the plight of the people and the pain of losing out loved ones.

Nandita tried to stay out of Gujarat for most of her shoot, as she did not want the movie to land up in any controversy. She also refused Narendra Modi when he expressed the desire to watch the movie. She has also no intentions whatsoever of releasing the movie in Gujarat. She says that whosoever wants to have a glimpse can go to a theatre and watch it. She seemed least interested in a special screening for the Gujarat prime minister.

Some of the scenes that were very important were shot in Gujarat. The rest of the shoot was done in Ahmadabad. The movie will see Tisca Chopra, Paresh Rawal, Sanjay Suri and Naseeruddin Shah playing the pivotal roles. They have put in a powerful performance from what we have heard so far.
