Ethan Mascarenhas, considered to be the country's greatest magician. Now the RJ of Radio Zindagi, responsible for infusing life and passion into the most despondent of his listeners. A man for whom life is the most beautiful and priceless commodity in the world, with a sparkling, sharp wit which you marvel at and an unmatched passion for living. Also a man who has been unable to move or feel any part of his body from below his neck for the last 14 years. A man who has refused to let the fact of him being a paraplegic take over his life. A man who has lived life on his terms and now wants to end it the same way.
And that is the point from which Guzaarish, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, one of India's most maverick and talented artists, unfolds. It tells the story of this extraordinary man and the equally extraordinary people who make up his world. Namely his nurse, Sofia-the love of his life, his mother and Omar, the zesty young man determined to learn the art of magic from the master.
