[1] Road to Sangam is a simple story of a God fearing, devout Muslim mechanic named Hasmat Ullah (Paresh Rawal) who has been entrusted with the job of repairing an old Ford V8 engine, not knowing the historic significance – that it once carried the ashes of Mahatma Gandhi which were immersed in the holy Triveni Sangam.

The original lorry is found, a news channel reporter visits, and Hashmat learns about the historic significance of the engine he is to repair.

The Uttar Pradesh Police arrests suspects who have links with the terror organisation Hizb-ul-Mujahideen) and the Muslim neighbourhood of Allahabad, where Hashmat lives.

He is intimidated and assaulted but he carries on with his work eventually winning over hearts of his fellow Muslims with Gandhian values and methods.

In contrast, the main protagonist Hashmatullah (portrayed as a moderate patriot Muslim) praises Sachin Tendulkar in the same scene.
