Hazaaron Khwaishen Aisi is a film made by director Sudhir Mishra in 2003, but released in 2005. The movie tells the story of three people in the 70s, when India was undergoing massive social and political changes.

Characters

The story revolves around three friends, Siddharth Tyabji (Kay Kay Menon), Geeta Rao (Chitrangada Singh) and Vikram (Shiny Ahuja) and how each tries to find his or her purpose in life.

Siddharth is the son of a retired judge, born and brought in in luxury and privilege. But he is attracted by the communist movement, espically the naxalite movement of West Bengal. He sees the social inequalities around him, and is convinced that a communist reveloution is the answer to all the problems. That he lives in wealth, smokes pot and and listens to western rock while espousing Lenin and Mao does not affect this decision — just as the class origins of many such revolutionaries that originate from similar circumstances in the real world are often similarly undeterred.

Geeta Rao, meanwhile, is from a middle class South Indian extended family. As such, she is a sheltered person. She is in love with Siddharth and his firebrand personality. But while she likes to hear him talk of revolution, she herself is not so sure about taking part in one. Vikram is from a middle class family, with a Gandhian father who is an idealist. Vikram is very ambitious, and wants to be successful, by hook or by crook. He is also in love with Geeta, but his love is not reciprocated.

Other characters playing a significant part in this film are Saurabh Shukla, Arif Zakaria, Yashpal Sharma, etc.
