Synopsis

Khoya Khoya Chand is a film about two young peopleafloat in the film
industry of the wild 1950s.. It is the tumultuous love story of an actress,
Nikhat (Soha Ali Khan), and a writer-director, Zafar (Shiney Ahuja) based in
the wild and exhilarating era of the 1950s-60s, the Golden Age of the Hindi
film industry. This film is a tribute to those wonderous times and people as
well as an accolade to their inspirational lives. A magical world, people
with huge talents, oversized egos, beautiful and ugly individuals and the
tantalizing lure of stardom. A world of glittering dreams and harsh
realities… golden yet cruel... This world comes to life with an excellent
ensemble of actors who in their varied roles create a colourful backdrop of
the film industry… from awe-inspiring superstars and feisty studio-owners to
fashionable divas with scandalous stories… this film has them all, and more.
Set against the compelling magnetism of this addictive world is the story of
Nikhat, the young girl who goes from being a fledging extra, to a starlet to
a great heroine, and Zafar, through whom we see the triumphs and travails of
a writer-director of the 1950's… The story of a volatile love that they can
neither live with, nor without… And the story of the difficult and often
heartbreaking choices they have to make... Even as the backdrop of this film
is period, the film modern in its narrative, characterization and treatment.
