As part of its ‘Zindagi Awesomes’ initiative, general entertainment channel Zindagi will present Anup Singh’s critically acclaimed movie ‘Qissa’ on 6 November at 8 pm.

The Indo–German drama centres on a Sikh father’s obsession to have a son to continue the family lineage. The poignant drama tells the story of the daughter who is forced to live like a son. The ensemble cast includes Irrfan Khan as Umber Singh, Tisca Chopra as Mehar, Tilotama Shome as Kanwar Singh and Rasika Dugal as Neeli.

‘Qissa’ was screened in the Contemporary World Cinema section at Toronto International Film Festival (2013), where it won the Netpac Award for World or International Asian Film.

The story revolves around Umber Singh, a Sikh who loses everything during the Partition of India in 1947 and is forced to leave his homeland. He obsessively wishes for a male child. When his fourth daughter is born, Umber decides to challenge his destiny and raises her as a son.
