The scene is of a cafe when the story opens where different sets of people are all engrossed in their own respective business. While a trio struggles to come up with an original song, the cafe owner and one of his employees continue their banter. Amidst it all arrives a busy lawyer, looking for his regular cup of tea and a samosa. However, confusion unfolds when the last samosa is found to be already claimed by a woman who sits right behind him. <br><br>

The film opens at a lighthearted note, marked by humor and sweet silliness. However, it soon takes a dramatic, sentimental turn which involves the threat of familial loss and tragedy for a woman. It is in tying of these varying emotions together that the story is completed and presented to the viewer.

Ek Samosa Do Chai | Short Film Nominee

The film is an exploration of a boy's struggle to reconcile his past with his present. As he grapples with memories of pain that don't allow him to move forward, he tries to take refuge in hope and dreams. It is maybe the pursuit of the latter that would let him fight all his inhibitions. <br><br> The film makes use of limited space and tries to play with light and darkness to communicate its message. The voiceover shows potential that can be realised further in future projects by the team. Staying in the space of abstraction, the film on the whole comes across as a sincere and honest attempt to convey its message.
