WE ARE FAHEEM & KARUN
Across borders and against tradition, two men fall into a romance as forbidden as it is irresistible. This sensual, swoon-worthy drama dares to imagine love thriving where prejudice prevails.
Description
Writer/director Onir Dhar and co-writer Fawzia Mirza offer a new and singular spin on the timeless tale of star-crossed lovers. When a border patrol guard accepts an apple from a man crossing from Kashmir into India, an ostensibly doomed romance begins. Divided by religion, ethnic origin, and the weight of societal pressures, these two young men press forward, building a fragile but passionate connection in defiance of the forces against them. Anchored by two luminous performances, this film is both a sensually charged drama and a powerful statement against love’s ability to resist the borders, prejudices, and traditions that seek to crush it.
