'Tahaan' is a fable like journey of the eponymous eight year old boy, whose life
revolves around the pursuit to find real purpose in his little world. Tahaan (Purav
Bhandara) lives with his grandfather (Victor Banerjee), his mother Haba (Sarika)
and older sister Zoya (Sana Shaikh,) in the serene meadows of Kashmir. They all
live in the hope that someday Tahaan's father, who's been missing for over three
years, will return.
The death of his grandfather leads the local moneylender Lalaji and his manager
Kuka (Rahul Khanna) to take away the assets of the family, including their pet
donkey Birbal, against repayment of a pending loan. Now, life for Tahaan is his
pastures. For Tahaan, bringing his favourite donkey Birbal back home becomes the
sole purpose in life.
After various efforts at money making, Tahaan approaches Lalaji with the prospect
of regaining his lost asset but is devastated to learn that an old man Subhan Darr
(Anupam Kher) has bought Birbal and taken him across the mountains... the same
mountains from where Tahaan's father never returned.
But 'Tahaan' sums up courage and chases after Subhan. The prophetic old man doesn't
befriend Tahaan at first sight but slowly warms up to this energetic and determined
soul whose love for Birbal is paramount. But at the end of the journey, Tahaan is
further disheartened when Subhan gifts Birbal to his orphaned eight year old
nephew, and even the long time helper of Subhan called Zafar (Rahul Bose), cannot
be of any assistance to poor Tahaan. On his way back home, Tahaan finally
encounters a teenage lad ldrees, who convinces him that his efforts would never be
sufficient to get Birbal back. Instead, he promises to get Birbal back for a
favors. You are bound to realize how true this actually is.All set to hit on the
