BEYOND BOUNDARIES

“A story of humanity, duty and the cries of Kashmir.”

The story begins when a young 21-year old journalist, Sara Rathore, daughter of late Col. Vikram Rathore, gets the opportunity of an assignment in the Kashmir valley. Her mother is apprehensive about sending her to Kashmir and hands over her father’s diary.
The diary reveals her father's first hand experiences in the most testing mission of his life, his crossroads of choosing between humanity and duty, the ideologies of extremist groups & the situation of the locals in the Kashmir valley.

Through the diary, major revelations about Sarah are revealed.
Truth about the fact that no religion is greater than humanity.
Truth about the importance of love amidst the society of hatred.

A gripping, poignant, powerful, emotional and hard-hitting story, ‘BEYOND BOUNDARIES’‘ compels every viewer to introspect about some questions about their own belief systems. Whether we are bound by our own limitations or we accept our limits and yet decide to go beyond them.

Ultimately, what really is pertinent - belonging to a nation or living BEYOND BOUNDARIES.

Director Statement

“BEYOND BOUNDARIES” is all about hope, peace, survival and the value of human life. It is a modern day story revealing strong emotions of people towards terrorism and peace. Though the story is set in the backdrop of ongoing Kashmir problem prevailing between India and Pakistan, it has an international appeal since Terrorism is not restricted to one or two nations alone. It has raised its ugly head all over the world and if a movement is not built up against it, it would be a threat to the mankind all over.

With terrorism as the core value of its narrative, ‘BEYOND BOUNDARIES’ steps from the zone of violence to that of a philosophical debate, raising on its way
uncomfortable questions such as whether it is right to allow our soldiers to become martyrs for the sake of projecting those who are quite shameless about putting our country up for a sale.
