Baba Azmi and Shabana Azmi have told a powerful human interest story that can be the story of any poor aspiring family in India.

By siding with the diktat of the pompous bully, the village does not think twice about making life hell for Salim and his teenaged daughter. Salim Shaikh is a tailor in semi-urban Mijwan.

The Bharatnatyam dancer shares a spiritual experience with the audience by performing to the sufi chants of Ali, reiterating that the glorious GangaJamuni way of life still resonates with the majority of people in this part of the country.

“At the age of seven, I wanted a doll with blonde hair and blue eyes like other girls in my class. In poignantly doing so they have addressed some of the dilemmas afflicting our communally divided society.

Sanya Malhotra's latest dance video will leave you stunned. It is the story of a young girl's aspiration to become a dancer, but coming from a small village like Mijwan, everyone questions her dreams and choices. Should the aspirations of a girl child be given importance? Her niece, Saiyami Kher, made her Bollywood debut in the 2016 film Mirzya. Earlier this year, the film had an exclusive screening and well-known industry personalities Aamir Khan, Vidya Balan, Varun Dhawan, Manish Malhotra, Mahesh Bhatt, David Dhawan and many more graced their presence and were all praises for the film.

That is why it makes the heart happy to hear Salim the humble tailor say in Mee Raqsam that his faith in Allah is steadfast enough to fearlessly help his daughter realise her dream, whatever it might be.

We have done all types of roles together. The Bharatnatyam teacher, Uma, simply refuses to see the boundaries of religion and at once spots the inner artist in Maryam that she must hone and enable.

He believes that as a father it is his duty to enable his daughter to fulfill her aspirations.

The actor is currently shooting for his upcoming film Laal Singh Chaddha. Can a Muslim girl be allowed to pursue her dream of becoming a Bharatnatyam dancer? My father used to celebrate all festivals like Eid, Diwali, Holi, Christmas, etc with great gusto.

A stone is flung at his window probably by paid bhakts who zip into the heart of communities, make trouble between ordinary citizens and disappear into the crowd after spreading hate and violence. For Maryam, Bharatnatyam becomes a passionate hobby and a cherished memory of her beloved mother. Saiyami Kher also attended the special screening of Mee Raqsam at a preview theatre in Juhu.

It is an inspiring tale about a father standing resolutely behind his young daughter’s desire to dance .In these dark times, Mee Raqsam offers hope and elevates the soul.” expresses Shabana Azmi on the premiere of Mee Raqsam.

Should everything be viewed in the Hindu-Muslim binary? Baba Azmi shares how and why the film is so close to him. But my father gave me a black doll and said ‘black is beautiful’. Besides, it thoroughly upsets Jayprakash, the powerful patron of the dance school and a Muslim hater.
