Rab da Vaasta

 

Rab da Vaasta

Directed by Charravarty Devulapalli

On Sunday morning, a non-typical customer walks into a small-time barber shop in East Dehli, demanding a shave. Having faced the ordeal of 1984 anti-Sikh reprisal, Manjeet Singh Sandhu, a devout Sikh-turned-barber mulls over and faces an epiphany of sorts upon coming face-to-face with his bête noire. Contextualized in the socio-religious political events of 1984-87 India (in the aftermath of Operation Bluestar and Prime Minister Indira Ghandi's assassination, Rab da Vaasta ("For God's Sake - Every Drop Matters"), is a screen adaptation of Hernando Tellez's well-known story, "Espuma y nada más" ("Just Lather, That's All").
