This three minute film, especially the last 30 seconds, will give you goosebumps.

National Awardee Rajkummar Rao stars in this feature revealing the ugly truth about how it takes but a heartbeat for communal passions to run high in 'secular' India.

It all begins on a day like every other day in an ordinary barber shop in Mumbai. The barber is Hindu and his first customer of the morning is Muslim, there to have a quick shave. Their conversation is easy, casual, unconstrained - every day banter as you would hear between two ordinary people.

As the barber readies his blade to begin his task, they witness a commotion on the street outside. As the watch a young Hindu man being brutally beaten by mean wearing Muslim skull caps, the atmosphere in the shop changes in an instant to one of fear, suspicion and hate.

It takes the barber but a moment to slit his Muslim customer's throat. And it takes another moment for him, and us, to discover the truth that forms a terrifying twist in the tale.
Bombay Mirror, directed by Shlok Sharma, also stars Vijay Mauraya . It was originally made for UTV in 2010 but was never released.
