Hope And A Little Sugar

A tale of love set against the forces of hate and intolerance, the film tells a story of a young Muslim photographer living in New York after the tragic events of 9/11 forced to conceal his love for a Sikh woman.


The primal forces of religious animosity pit a fledgling Muslim photographer and a retired Sikh Colonel from the Indian army on a dangerous collision course in director Tanuja Chandra's simmering post-9/11 drama. The setting is New York City, and the year is 2001. Colonel Oberoi's son has been killed in the September 11 terrorist attacks, and now the ageing military man has focused his rage onto Muslim Ali Siddiqui. Siddiqui is an honest man whose sole transgression was falling in love with Colonel Oberoi's widowed daughter in law. In an era where religion seems to divide the masses more than ever before, does love have the power to triumph over tragedy?
