Batwara

In Batwara, Dhaniram and his family relocate to Dehradoon following the Partition. As he struggles to maintain his chemist shop amidst rising tensions, his refusal to cooperate with corrupt profiteers leads to tragic consequences, leaving him disabled. His three sons take different paths as they grapple with their circumstances, revealing the strains that financial desperation can place on family bonds.
