The theme of “Mujahid” is unusual but extremely relevant to present-day Pakistan. A store of tow friends who have returned from Afghanistan where they had honed to fight as “Jehadis”, the film follows “Reintegration” of the two young men into mainstream society. The film attempts to understand the frustration and lack of hope for our youth which leads them to take the extremist causes.

Since 9/11 and its aftermath, the Jehadis issue has troubled the West as much as the Islamic World. The film depicts the aimless and drab existence of the urban poor youth and their vulnerability to conversion to extremist causes. It hopes to make the viewers better aware and more sensitive to this “Problem”. “Mujahid” is also a story of a family coming to grips with its own contradictions and tensions.
