'Gahvara', directed by Tariq Mohammad and produced by Neeru Kohli, has a moving story with themes of loss, custom, and self-improvement.
It follows the story of Farhan (25), who complies with his grandmother's last request by making a fresh funeral bier for her interment. Although there are conflicts within the family regarding its necessity, Farhan's mother is upset about the bier's construction.
His obsession with his grandmother wears out his girlfriend, Nargis, thus, their visit becomes tense. Tragic events occur when Farhan learns of his father's unexpected passing, throwing him into severe emotional upheaval and changing his perspective on life.
