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.
