New Delhi: Majid Majidi's Beyond The Clouds hits screens today. The much talked about film by the Iranian filmmaker stars Shahid Kapoor's brother Ishaan Khatter and South actress Malavika Mohanan in the lead roles. Ishaan makes his debut in a full-fledged role with the movie - he previously made a blink-and-miss appearance in Shahid Kapoor's Udta Punjab. Majid Majidi's Beyond The Clouds centres around two orphaned siblings - Tara and Amir, played by Malavika and Ishaan respectively. Beyond The Clouds has already been critically acclaimed after it premiered at the BFI London Film Festival last year. Today, it releases in screens across the world.

From the trailer of Beyond The Clouds, this is what the story of the film appears to be: Amir and Tara, who are slum dwellers of Mumbai but an unprecedented incident changes the course of their lives. Tara is put behind bars while Amir struggles to loan money for her bail. Meanwhile, Amir gets a new family. After watching the trailer of Beyond The Clouds, this is what Ishaan's actor-brother tweeted: "Acting toh khoon mein hai. Ise dekho. When did he grow up so much!"
