In this very category falls director Mani Shankar's 'Mukhbiir' that is releasing, Friday, August 29th. He considers this movie as an improvement on his earlier '16 December'. Mani Shankar admits that his earlier movies suffered, presumably 'Rudraksh' and 'Tango Charlie', from too much research and too little emotions! In 'Mukhbiir', he claims to have a fine blend of plot and characters besides research and emotions. He says that 'Mukhbir' stars Sammir Dattani in the lead role of an informer. In fact, this is the biographical story of a boy's journey inasmuch as Sammir's character wants is to have an identity, besides having a girlfriend and a normal life. But he can't do these things, according to Mani. The director believes that cultural and religious identities are crucial to the hero's character in 'Mukhbiir'. Though Sammir holds the mother goddess close to his heart, he has to convert himself totally to Islam. The character even undergoes a circumcision. He finally believes in the oneness of God and dies a Muslim.
