Zaid Ahmed (Muzamil Ibrahim) is a bright, young Muslim police officer in
Mumbai. Dedicated to his work, respected and admired by his colleagues and
community, he represents integration at its most successful. He has learned to
live with the violence and the chaos that plagues his city, and on the night of
a deadly bombing at the New Century club, he works tirelessly to help the
shocked and shattered patients brought to the hospital.
But this night of turmoil and death takes a horrifying personal turn. His wife’s
body, the beautiful mysterious Sarah (Tulip Joshi) is found amongst the dead,
with massive injuries. Things turn even more horrific when the police coldly
announce that Sarah’s injuries were typical of those found on fundamentalist
suicide bombers. As evidence mounts that his wife, Sarah, was responsible for
the catastrophic bombing, Zaid is torn between cherished memories of their years
together and the inescapable realization that the beautiful, intelligent woman
he loved had a life far removed from their comfortable, assimilated existence
together.
From the opening of the film to its searing conclusion, Dhokha displays the
reality of terrorism and its incalculable spiritual costs. Intense and humane,
devoid of political bias and hatred, intensely thoughtful, sensitive and felt,
it displays a profound understanding of what can seem impossible to understand.
