Road To Sangam is a 2010 Bollywood Hindi Movie directed by Amit Rai starring Paresh Rawal, Om Puri, Pavan Malhotra, Javed Shaikh in lead roles. The imaginative plot about the Mahatma’s ashes belatedly being taken out of Allahabad to be scattered in the Ganga gets its strength from the moral frailty of the times that we live in.
Presented by Gipsy Films, Road to Sangam is a simple story of a God fearing, devout Muslim mechanic named Hashmat Ullah (Paresh Rawal). A renowned mechanic by profession, he is entrusted the job of repairing an old V8 Ford Engine, unaware that it was once used to carry ashes of Mahatma Gandhi to immerse in the ‘Sangam’ of holy rivers Ganga,Yamuna and invisible Saraswati.Its historic significance becomes Hashmat Ullah’s bane and salvage.
