Taar teaser: Nagraj Manjule is the conveyer of bad tidings

Filmmaker Nagraj Manjule plays a postman who is weighed down by the guilt of being the bearer of bad news in Pankaj Sonawane's short film Taar (2020).

The first teaser for the short film shows Manjule delivering telegrams from the Indian army to the families of four soldiers killed in the 1971 India-Pakistan war.

Manjule, who seems to be playing an honest postman, sees himself as a messenger of death and this guilt gnaws at his conscience. The teaser also shows how the families of the four soldiers suffer.

Taar has been produced by Illusion Ethereal Studios and Sandeep Patil. It is being presented by Riteish Deshmukh's production house Mumbai Film Company.

Mumbai Film Company will be presenting a series of Marathi short films made by some creative young minds. Taar is one of them.

Along with Manjule, the short film features Pooja Dolas, Jyoti Joshi, Ramchandra Dhumal and Bhushan Manjule. It is due to be released on 7 November on Mumbai Film Company's YouTube channel.
