Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi

Siddharth, Vikram and Geeta are three college mates in the movie Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi. Of which, Siddharth is a determined revolutionary who dreams of bringing a revolution in the state of Bihar that will end the caste-based discrimination there, bring social justice, and, change the society for the better. Vikram is the son of a Gandhian politician who has grown up in less comfort than Siddharth and Geeta but wants to climb the social steps no matter what the cost. Geeta is a London returned, South Indian girl in love with the agitator Siddharth. While she finds Siddharth’s socialist rhetoric attractive, she is not sure if she can whole-heartedly subscribe to it. And every time they come to point of choice, Siddharth chooses his principles over his love for her thus breaking her heart time and again. Vikram is a middle-class boy who dreams of making it big, whatever the cost. A few years later, Vikram is a fixer in the power passages of government, Geeta is married to a promising government servant who has it all, and Siddharth is still trying to rouse up a revolution. But all is not as it seems. Below the mask of happiness, each is quite unhappy. Vikram has ‘made it’, but he still cannot get Geeta, the love of his life. Geeta is married, but she still meets Siddharth on the sly, cheating on her husband. Siddharth has moved beyond and has started caring for the subjugated so much so that he is prepared to delay a revolution because he feels that the people are not ready in spite of their saying otherwise.
