Directed by Farhan Alam, Saawan touches upon the true story of a child with physical disabilities. The film is a ?quest for survival? and a tale of struggle and survival against all odds.

Shot in a barren wasteland, Saawan, on the basis of its trailer, seems to be a journey of this child, who initially feels helpless because of his disability, but eventually rises above evils that surround him.
