drama · Short Films · hindi

The entirety of the narrative is constituted by a single conversation between two men, pivoting on the metaphor of a bridge. Both located at vastly different ends of the social and financial spectrum, their experiences allow them one brief moment of overlap, to eventually give way to a tragedy.

With his personal as well as professional life in tatters, a powerful corporate magnate finds himself at the end of his rope. The moment of the introduction of his circumstance to the audience is also accompanied by the knowledge of him having little to no idea about the life and experiences of his driver, a man with whom he has spent the better part of twenty-five years. As the conversation allows the man to make an important decision about the course of the rest of his life, the film suggests that sometimes the very crucial turning points are determined by the smallest realizations which truly make all the difference in the long run. Additionally, the film has smooth visuals, but loses points when it comes to effortlessness of the flow of the conversation between its two actors.
