A-mrit

The film introduces us to Aditya, a man who has been relieved from his job. However, instead of the despair that should follow this development, we see a strange calm. While a sense of disconcertment lurks under the surface of Aditya's stoic exterior, it is never allowed an expression.

The narrative soon explores the many reasons behind it - from indifference of family and friends, to a complete dismissal of his inability to cry after a tragedy. All of this is used to question his behavior by the people in his life, but there is no attempt on their behalf to understand the reasons behind it.

As Aditya embarks on a journey of his own to unpack it, and to finally be able to allow himself the comfort of tears, the plot comes into its own, offering a conversation around toxic positivity and masculinity. There is further the suggestion of how all of these elements together have led to Aditya's inability to cry and express himself in a manner that finally eases the burden of the emotions he has been carrying within. The achievement of this evasive, cathartic release by the protagonist, and the many people and factors that have caused it, thus become the primary preoccupation of the film.
