Ek Anchaha Mehman

By Netra Venkateshwaran with 6.3

drama · Short Films · hindi

The protagonist of the film finds himself stuck in a rut, unable to break out of the exploitation meted out to him by his seniors. Despite his best efforts, he also finds himself incapable of forming meaningful bonds with other colleagues, and simply ends up feeling inadequate and uneasy in this particular social set-up.

Alongside this is a parallel development, one about his strange relationship with a house he crosses every day on his way back from work. It is by showing this relationship and his struggles in his day-to-day life that the film invokes ideas of identity and the self. Amidst it all, the question that remains intrinsic to the narrative is that when a man is unable to connect with the world around him, would he find a completely opposite twin within himself who would finally allow him to be at ease?
