Vivek lives a wealthy lifestyle in Hathipole, Udaipur, along with his mother; father, Rameshwar; grandmother; and sister, Supriya. He takes money without permission and travels to Goa along with his friends. Once there, he meets and falls in love with Shruti Tyagi - but she rejects him. Two years later, the duo meet again, and he finds out that her father, B.K. Tyagi, is Rameshwar's doctor, and builds up enough courage to seek his permission to marry Shruti - but is told that she is soon to marry U.S.-based Raj. Unable to handle this, and hoping that Shruti will change her mind, he fools his family into believing that she also loves him, and abducts her. Watch what impact this kidnapping has on Raj, the entire Tyagi family, as well as on Rameshwar and the rest of the family - especially when they find out that Vivek has been lying to them.
Based on the four most controversial short stories of the legendary Urdu writer Saadat Hassan Manto, Mantostaan sheds light on the inhumane side of mankind. Set during the Indo-Pakistan partition in 1947, the movie highlights the retributive genocide between the religions, killing as many as 20,00,000 people and displacing over 14 million people.
A period drama, the film is based on Ismat Chugtai's most celebrated story "Lihaaf" (published 1942). The film inter weaves the plot of same sex relationship between Begum and her masseuse and the trial that Ismat underwent after being slapped with a case of obscenity on publishing the story. The film raises themes of homosexuality and freedom of speech that our society is grappling with even today.
