Based on Khaled Hosseini's novel 'The Kite Runner' the story is about two childhood friends- one friend's search for his friend's son, taken captive by terrorists.It's a story of redemption-of a coward emerging as a hero but the backdrop is different from the original novel-it's set on a fictitious place called Ishanpur and the dialect used by the characters is called Ishania-since it's a fictitious language so there will be subtitles for the entire length of the film.
Based on real events, Blackgold delves deep into a gruesome and a heinous act of human sacrifice where elders are taken to tiger reserves to be fed to tigers by their own families. After the mauling, the bodies are thrown into neighboring sugarcane fields and the families demand compensation from the government for being attacked by a rogue man eater. A journalist uncovers the truth and together with a local doctor they set out on a mission to disclose the crime which makes them the hunted one by a village full of hunters.
