Prison

Prison deals with the primary concerns of urban society today; terrorism funded by free ranging sources outside the country, serial bomb blasts, insidious corruption in the police force corruption at all levels of government, over zealous police who beat ‘suspects’ to death eliminating them by staging ‘encounters’. Caught up in all this aftermath of the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts is the protagonist, Vivek, a journalist, the son of a rich Hindu father and Muslim mother. He is enmeshed into a trap laid by his father’s powerful enemies. He is jailed in solitary confinement, and as he wilts, the story unfolds the history of the events that led to the incarceration of this innocent young man. Against the picture of mindless cruelty of the world of terrorism – there is the tender narrative of selfless love of Aruna and her unshakeable faith in the innocence of Vivek.

Somewhere along the line comes the realization even to the terrorist involved, that behind the politics of terror, lies a cold - blooded struggle for power. Who is then the real traitor? How does innocence find justice, if at all?
