Story


Siddharth - The Prisoner is a 2009 Indian Bollywood drama, thriller film released on Feb 27, 2009. The film is directed by Pryas Gupta.

Just released from prison, Siddharth Roy, a once famous writer, completes a new manuscript. He re-engages with the outside world, hoping that the new book will restore his reputation and also reconcile him with his estranged wife, Maya. Fate has other plans for Roy, when his briefcase gets exchanged at a cyber café with a similar briefcase containing a large sum of money. Roy looses the only copy of his new manuscript, while Mohan, the cyber café manager, comes under pressure from mob bosses to recover the lost money.

In the midst of growing despair about the lost manuscript, Roy is reconciled with his three-year-old son through a scheming housemaid. Unable to find happiness in the money he has found, Roy begins to desire the custody of his son. Meanwhile the pressure mounts on Mohan as he looses his job and is forced to go into hiding from the mob. He must find Roy and money at any cost.

Based on the ancient text of the Rig Veda, the film explores the theme of renunciation (of desire) as the true path to enlightenment and freedom.

The title of this film is no coincidence. In fact it's rather a give-away as to where this languid, pensive study, highly influenced by European cinema (note the peppy background ..

Siddharth The Prisoner is a film with a half-decent premise, but it's so agonisingly snail-paced, you can't be blamed for nodding off to sleep in your seat. Rajat Kapoor plays Sid..
