Anwar is certain of Mehru's love for him, but she runs away with a Hindu guy, Udit (Anwar's Friend). Anwar reacts impulsively which results in death of Udit. Following which, Mehru commits suicide. A guilt-ridden Anwar takes shelter in an ancient Hindu temple in Dholpur carrying a bag, which contains drawings of mandirs and notes on Lord Krishna, Devi Meera, and Mehru.

The place is surrounded by the police, politicians who are anxious to win the Hindu vote, the media, and a huge crowd who are here to see the show. Set against post 9/11 scenario, amidst the craze for Valentine's Day, Britney Spears, Osama Bin Laden, George W. Bush, and the American way of life, Anwar must now examine his options.
In the climax, Anwar gets shot by the cops and he dies immediately. While dying, he has a vision of himself as lord Krishna and his love Mehru as Meera, re-uniting with each other.

Themes
The film set in Lucknow, is about stereotyping of Muslims in the post-9/11 era. The film was inspired by the director's experience in New York two days after the 9/11 attacks when he was detained by the police and interrogated for five hours, who presumed him to be a Muslim, since he was unshaven and had long hair.[1]Production
The film was shot in Kakori, Bakshi Ka Talab and Lucknow during April 2006.[2]Cast

A disjointed, disorganized, disappointing movie
This movie has some
beautiful music and cinematography, but the story is a total mess, there
are way too many extra characters and their own story lines, it
switches focus several times to characters and story lines that are
barely even relevant. We don't really get to understand any of the
characters as actual people; the main character Anwar is hard to
understand (because he's not a fully realized character), and near the
end of the movie acts in a way that isn't compatible with his previous
actions. There are a lot of annoying men of various ages who cry and
complain about the stereotypically cold and beautiful women who reject
them. In the middle there is an "item song" that couldn't be more out of
place in a movie that attempts to be angsty and heartbroken. If you're
like me, you saw the songs and are intrigued, please don't watch it. The
best parts of the movie are already in the songs, the rest is just a
huge mess.
