The opening shot of the film is of a traffic policeman standing in the middle of a busy road, directing traffic in the right direction. This sets the premise of the rest of the narrative - one weaved as an attempt to honour the Indian police force, primarily that of the state of Gujarat. <br><br> As a dejected looking policeman makes his way to a park, he finds himself to be an unwelcome presence to those around him. This is soon followed by a phone call which cancels his leave for the day of Diwali. Using his disgruntled mood after receiving this news, the film further tries to draw attention to the tribulations of the police force, asking the audience to honour their hard work and efforts. 

Police Waalo ki Diwali | Short Film Nominee

The film begins with a Sanskrit shloka which is one of the principles of the ancient Indian teacher,
philosopher and economist, Chanakya’s teachings. According to this postulate, time is the greatest
leveller, which provides both nurturing as well as destruction to living beings. From something as big and
macro as that, the film swiftly zeroes into present day in the state of Gujarat where a team of doctors
is gearing to fight the Covid-19 pandemic. <br><br> Further, the film traces the journey of Vinayak, a 28-year-old man who goes to a public hospital to get a check-up for symptoms. On the basis of his symptoms
and recent travelling history, he is admitted into the isolation ward of the hospital. The film follows his
journey to recovery and simultaneously offers health announcements and guidelines for public
awareness.
