A group of travellers is detained by the rebels in a fort outside Lucknow. It is suspected that the Begum in disguise is among them. In the motley gathering, there are two women, one a poor peasant and the other, Ayesha, a tawaif from the city. Powerful. Personal. Passionate. This Ruchika production has been revived after 44 years and is directed by Feisal Alkazi, with lighting by Sunil Arora, and is produced by Ritvik Mohann Bhagat.
