Long Synopsis (English)

The film recounts an interesting and witty episode of Saadat Hasan Manto’s life i.e. his marriage. Manto is a great story writer from Urdu Literature. Relating psychoanalysis with human behaviour, he was arguably one of the best short story tellers of the 20th century, and one of the most controversial as well. When you register the collective madness that prevailed, during and after the Partition of India in 1947, no other author is close to the opus of Saadat Hassan Manto. He is acknowledged for his hard-hitting and heart-wrenching stories dealing with numerous facets of social sentiments. Though he lived a grave life, full of complications. But he always kept smiling seriously and anecdote of his marriage is literally funny at one end and seems dark humour at another i.e. how a talented man was crushed to circumstances. Manto breathed the early Bombay dream. He spent a little time in the film industry and established himself as a writer and a cultural figure. He was a very humble and down to earth person. Though he was associated with many a celebrities in the film industry at that time, as this story shows, but he mentions those names very casually. There was a time when he was living a very disgusting life and at the very same time his mother visited him. She was worried that he could not progress since he was not well educated. Just in a jest he told her that he was not earning because he didn’t have a family and what he is earning is sufficient for a single being. She somehow arranged his marriage. His joke turned into a serious matter. Without a penny in his pocket how he managed everything that’s the journey of this voyage called ‘Manto Ki Shadhi’ (Manto’s Marriage) The admiration, however, shouldn’t be limited to this writing as it excels in several sides, expressly the sincerity. The writer Manto has rapidly knitted a number of things from his life and told them directly to the addressees. It makes you giggle and ends with saying that’s the life folks.
