The opening music offers a sweet vibe. A friendly looking, young man, confesses his love to the camera.
He is rehearsing a proposal for his childhood best friend. Reading from his
notes, and breaking into smiles for the camera, he is rehearsing his sincerity. The music soon becomes delightful, conveying his
confidence that the girl he’s in love with, his best friend, is going to say ‘yes’! 
But the film is sub-titled 'a tangled tale' for a reason. The screenplay deftly picks up words, image and
memory of one (the boy), and connects them with the other (the girl), like a thread, tying one end with
the other. However, the more the episodes collate, the more knots the thread gets entangled in.
Relationships are complex. Matters of the heart are not easy. 
But the film tries to tread these arduous paths softly, delicately and with hope; just as the path to love is
supposed to be. Take a leap of faith, a sweet surprise awaits you!

Kirdaar keeps you on your toes as it builds up to the climax. It's the story of a theatre actor, Aman struggling to grasp a role of a man trying to get in touch with the woman within. As the performance draws closer, this struggle intensifies and his wife becomes the unwitting recipient of the worst of his emotions. But when the performance is finally done and over, is there respite for her? Even if Aman manages to give a good performance, will there be a breaking out of the intensity of grappling with a new role? The film will raise all of these questions in a skilled manner and, at the end of it all, leave the audience more disturbed than they were prepared for at the start.
