Bombay is about a south Indian Hindu man who falls in love with a Muslim woman in the small village from which they hail. Shekhar Mishra Narayan and Shaila Bano are in love and want to marry. The only problem is that Shekhar is a Hindu and Shaila is a Muslim. A marriage proposal is vehemently opposed by the lovers\' fathers. Shekar\'s father refuses to accept Shaila as his daughter-in-law, telling Shekhar to find another partner, whilst Shaila\'s father announces the need for an immediate marriage between his daughter and a Muslim man. They marry against family wishes and move to Mumbai, where he works as a reporter for a large daily newspaper. Eventually, the couple has twin boys. The rest of the film is set in the December 1992-January 1993 period when the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid controversy had raised religious tension in Mumbai and other parts of India, which sparked rioting and violence. |
