By Sumesh N Pillai with 6.7

thriller · Short Films · hindi

A woman is very disturbed as she stands by an empty road at night. Soon, her paths cross with a kind taxi driver who insists on helping her after hearing her story of marital discord. The film starts off as drama but soon turns into a thrilling story marked by violence and unexpected developments.

The fate of all the characters suddenly hangs in balance, and we learn that the woman has more than one dark secret up her sleeve, even if they don’t sit well with her. The final result presents a notable performance by her. The film's title is echoed in the many ways no character appears to be who they truly are. At the end of it all, before the viewer can square away the outcome of the narratorial progression, the story provides its last offering, before concluding in its entirety.
