Safar

By Aditya Patne with 6.5

drama · Short Films · hindi

The short film adopts the tone of a travel blog, using a first person, single-character narrative to tell its story. It further deglamourises travel, infusing a fresh breath of air with its visuals of crowded trains, rusted window panes, stray dogs at platforms, to name a few. The visuals show potential which can be explored in the future projects by the team.

In terms of the story itself, there is a surprise waiting at the end of it all for the dedicated viewer, along with a sense of memory, nostalgia and longing for home tied together with it all. As the protagonist embarks on his journey from Delhi to Pune, the viewer gets a chance to go along with him, and perhaps see the train ride and the homecoming with a fresh pair of eyes.
