The world of ‘Lost and Found’ is one of calm, quiet shots, marked by their complete absence of dialogue, and supplemented instead by soulful songs. The story carries a similar quiet gravity that says more in its silence than any verbal exchanges could have conveyed. 

At its opening, a stranger posts a notice, a plea to help find a missing man. Soon we are introduced to the man in question himself. He comes across as an eccentric character who is fixated on the moles on his body, along with measurements of his height. 

When the narrative reveals the reasoning behind it all, the writing and screenplay of the film present a victorious flourish, tying the various components together into a cohesive whole about what it truly means to belong or, on the contrary, be completely alone by oneself.

‘Gandhi Virus’ presents a most intriguing world to the viewer, constructed with thoughtfulness and care to ensure the plot is communicated to the viewer with conviction and lucidity. 

A man, the protagonist, is desperate and very disturbed on a phone call to his mother. His uncontrollable sobbing gives way to the events of only a few minutes ago. The film thus presents a dystopic reality where a bizarre virus has humankind in its tight hold. 

 The virus makes its host kind and non-violent. On paper, the proposition sounds nothing short of utopia, but its consequences are far from that, as the narrative continues to portray, ensuring that its storytelling remains a marked strength. Additionally, the film keeps the audience engaged throughout, concluding with the emphatic communication of all of these ideas.
