Plot
Anek is a thought-provoking action thriller that delves into the complex socio-political landscape of Northeast India. Directed by Anubhav Sinha, the film follows Aman, an undercover agent portrayed by Ayushmann Khurrana, who is tasked with facilitating peace in a region marred by insurgency and unrest. Working under the alias Joshua, Aman is embedded in the conflict-ridden Northeast, where he navigates the fine line between his duty to the nation and his empathy for the local people. Aman’s mission takes a challenging turn when he meets Aido, a spirited young woman with a dream of representing India in boxing. Her ambitions are complicated by her involvement in local resistance movements, highlighting the clash between her identity and the mainstream ideals she’s expected to embody. As Aman’s connection with Aido grows, he grapples with the moral ambiguities of his mission and the deeply-rooted issues of identity, belonging, and political neglect faced by the Northeastern communities. Anek boldly addresses questions of unity and acceptance in a diverse nation, weaving intense action with powerful messages. The film ultimately asks: What does it truly mean to be an Indian, and can peace be achieved without acknowledging the many faces and voices within the nation?
