The difference between a good dhobi and a bad dhobi is that the latter definitely makes his presence felt. However, Manto was lucky that Ram Khilawan was of the former kind. Because not only was he good at his job but he’d seen Manto through his impoverished days and his days of prosperity with equal enthusiasm; never insisting on getting paid as he really didn’t know “what account is”.

However, when you’re faced with circumstances that are out of your control, the strongest relationships sometimes crumble in the face of it. But is there anything that can threaten Manto and Ram Khilawan’s bond?

Incredibly moving and innately Manto, Ram Khilawan is everything you expect from a Manto story, and some more. Read on.
