New Socialist Movement

‘Dharamveer’ is a common man living peacefully when he is suddenly confronted with conflicting and competing ideologies. trapped in an ideological web, his innocence vanishes and his thoughts are subverted by the collective hate of fanatic mobs.

Dharamveer is an attempt to project the frightening reality of impressionable minds transformed into ‘holy warriors’. In the chaos, tumult and violence, it is often forgotten that they are, after all, petty pawns in a vicious game of politics.

This film is a reaction to personal experiences and first person accounts of immeasurable grief and tragedy of the communal violence in Gujarat. This film does not propose solutions, nor does it offer solace. It merely seeks to hold up a mirror for all of us.

‘Dharamveer’ provokes a debate, and challenges us to question, to spark a dialog. For it is when dialog hits a dead-end that violence begins its dance of death.
