It is a contemporary film on hotly debated topical subject in current times is the issue of “Triple Talaq” i.e. an instant type of divorce in Islam. The issue features in social and media circles regularly - a tidal wave of public opinion which refuses to ebb. The treatment of the controversial subject silhouettes the futility and unsavoury repercussions of the prevalent practice of the Talaq against the socio-religious relevance of the practice juxtaposed with the real time honoured beliefs and modern way of life. The film endeavours to convey the practicality to be associated with the basic modus operandi of the practice of “Triple Talaq” which though present in abundance in religious under-currents is selfishly camouflaged and purposely misinterpreted to meet personal ends with the ethos of the very basis of the denouement taking a back seat in the process.

The movie had its world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival 2018,[3] opening to a packed house with a rousing response. It is produced by Trinetra, Kanika, Anshula Bajpai under their banner Kanika Multiscope (KMPL).

Plot

The story-line is replete with contemporary thought provoking content aimed at placing in perspective the rationale and / or otherwise of the relevance and validity of the “Triple Talaq”. It is the story of a woman of substance and fortitude who gets duped in love facing unjustified selfish “Triple Talaq”, raises her son against all odds only to see him subject her Bahu to the same fate in a most unjustifiable manner. The woman rises to the occasion squarely meeting the daunting challenges of society / clerics to ensure that justice prevails. An unconventional post-modern treatment of this sensitive subject makes “Phir Ussi Mod Par” special as the movie espouses the cause of social justice in no uncertain terms.
