The story of Falana Dhimkana is of three different pairs of people and their individual struggles. The narrative is an exploration of the less significant moments of life, those which fall between the cracks of milestones and landmark achievements.  The style of the film adopts the most natural flow and offers a beautiful portrayal of several things - from union and partings to hardships and most universal of them all, pain. <br><br>The film comes across as a wise decision by the young filmmaker Prannoy Mehta to talk about concerns no grander than heartbreak, financial trouble and raw, honest intimacy between two people. All of this is gracefully weaved together with the stories of its characters, rendered convincingly by the actors. Falana Dhimkana is subtle, soft, and a reminder that irrespective of where we may be in life, pain finds us all in the end, but so does hope, happiness and joy.

The narrative attempts to be a commentary on religion. Set in the near future of 2022, the film locates itself in central India where existence is divided by the religious identities of three communities - Hindu, Muslim and Christian. <br><br> And yet, from among these, arises a fourth strain of thought whose motive is to end all of these three at all costs. As blood is shed and pawns are sacrificed for the smooth functioning of the larger machine of power, what would be the fate of an average boy who is unable to negotiate his position in society vis-a-vis religion and his idea of God?
