Phir Ussi Mod Par (English: Back to Square One) is a Hindi movie directed by Lekh Tandon and was produced under the banner of Avant-garde motion picture.[1][2]
It is a contemporary film on a hotly debated topical subject, and a relevant the issue of “Triple Talaq” i.e., a tradition of divorce in Islam that happens when one verbally speaks my three words. The issue is featured in social and media circles regularly - a tidal wave of public opinion which refuses to ebb. The treatment of the controversial subject silhouettes the futility and unsavory repercussions of the prevalent practice of Talaq against the social-religious relevance of the practice juxtaposed with the real-time honored beliefs and modern way of life. The film endeavors to convey the practicality of being associated with the basic modus operandi of the practice of “Triple Talaq,” which, although present in abundance in religious under-currents is selfishly camouflaged and purposely misinterpreted to meet personal ends with the ethos of the very basis of the denouement taking a back seat in the process.
The movie had its world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival 2018,[3] opening to a packed house with a rousing response. It is produced by Trinetra, Kanika, and Anshula Bajpai under their banner Kanika Multiscope (KMPL).
