Mera Number Kab Aayega

By Jayant Gupta with 6.9

comedy · Short Films · hindi

The year is 2030, a time when the world battles dire shortages of resources. From water to clean air, humans have run out of all of them, making population control a desperate need. Reproduction is now heavily controlled by the government, and is deeply mired in red-tapism and corrupt bureaucracy.

Stuck at the receiving end of these myriad complications are the hapless Sagar and Varsha, a couple struggling with their marriage, and looking to have a child as a last attempt to save the relationship. At the expense of the couple’s misery, the viewer is allowed moments of humor. As an interaction develops with a government official, their relationship too undergoes its own tests in a moment of crisis, eventually coming out stronger at the end of it all.

In the process, the dystopian reality of the film is tied with satire, and crucial comments about the world are intertwined with moments of frivolity and lightheartedness.
