It is a big day for the Hamid as it won the 66th National Award for Best Urdu Film & Best Child Actor for Talha Arshad Reshi. However, the joy is incomplete as director Aijaz Khan told PTI that he can’t reach Talha’s family in Kashmir to inform them about this special achievement.

The Valley is tense after the Indian government announced the decision to revoke Article 370.

Directed by Aijaz Khan, Hamid takes us to modern-day Kashmir where a neglected and lonely child, Hamid (Talha Arshad Reshi), is convinced that the number ‘786’ is that of God. In his quest to find this God, Hamid befriends a stranger - a CRPF jawaan named Abhay. As the latter decides to humour him, their lives are enriched by each other’s presence, though fleeting and full of misunderstandings. Hamid stars Rasika Duggal, Vikas Kumar, and Talha Arshad Reshi.
