Bhagwan Bharose is the story of Bhola and Shambhu, two little village boys whose ideas about faith are constantly questioned and changed as their little world expands and takes into its fold, their country’s fast-changing socio-political landscape. Against the backdrop of a rising Hindu nationalist movement in the late 1980’s India, the two impressionable kids struggle with their understanding of God and religion while experiencing the everyday challenges of childhood, conservative upbringing and communal surroundings until their idyllic world is blown apart by events that they themselves can no longer fathom.
