Nooryaab Nakhat

Kosa is a young boy who lives with his family in the forest heartlands of India. One day, he is picked up by the police. The charge? Kosa’s name is similar to that of a Maoist commander. Will the farcical trial that follows prove his innocence or confirm he’s a criminal?

The film is a visual exercise in the reminiscence of Lucknow's glorious cultural past as told by Nawab Mirza Nasir Abbas and Naaz Abbas. The pieces of their lives are presented in fragments by the filmmaker, which also emulates the nature of their memories; interwoven with the filmmaker's own contemplations on her cultural identity.
