The short film introduces the viewer to Rohan, a teenager who shares the house with his younger sister, brother and his wife. However, familial tensions and stressors are rife in this set-up, isolating Rohan further who also battles the grief of his parents' passing at the same time. As the narrative reveals different aspects of his life, problems of heartache are further invoked. Simultaneously, a parallel narrative about abject poverty is developing, portraying for the viewer the difficult life of a daily labourer. The hapless man is endeavoring to put together a meagre sum of one thousand rupees for urgent medical aid of his infant daughter. Through all of these characters and their experiences, the short film wants to remind the viewer of those who are battling huge obstacles, further drawing their attention, perhaps even at the cost of the oversimplification of the nature of pain or sadness, to strive to find happiness in whatever little they might already have or be blessed with.

Sid asks his musician friend to watch a horror film with him. The friend refuses and walks away citing
work reasons. He goes back to his room to work while Sid continues to watch the film alone in the living
room. Soon, Sid leaves and the man goes about his day. But the next day, strange occurrences begin
happening inside his own house, and in the neighrbourhood, and the man is perplexed. A supernatural presence is invoked, along with a disconcerting soundtrack to weave an atmosphere of horror for the viewer as the story reveals itself bit by bit.
