Plot details
Story of 'Nishaanchi'
Nishaanchi is a two-part film that revolves around twin brothers who look alike but have different values. The first part introduces Manjari (Panwar), a former trap sharpshooter, and her twin sons, Babloo and Dabloo (both played by Thackeray). One son is unruly and rowdy, while the other is quiet and composed. Babloo ends up joining Ambika Prasad's (Mishra) gang and suffers. The second part continues their story as Babloo seeks redemption but gets drawn back into Ambika's world.
Director's note
Kashyap on his film
Kashyap said, "Nishaanchi is a story that has everything I've ever loved about Hindi cinema - emotion, intensity, chaos, action and lots of drama. It's also a very personal film for me and thus everything about it from the writing to the shoot to characters have been created with immense passion and purity." "While Part 1 dives deep into the world of crime and the choices that define us...Part 2 is about...the price we pay for those choices."
