The Call

By Mohan Singh Gaharwar with 6.5

drama · Short Films · hindi

The film is an endeavor to talk about a deeply intimate and personal event, a tragic loss and the grief that follows in its wake. The portrayal of the same is attempted by introducing us to an unemployed man who parties and has a good time using the money and resources of his close friend. However, much like the former, the latter is a dedicated Indian Army officer.

Everything seems to be working out smoothly between the two of them until catastrophe strikes and alters their equation forever. The story then becomes about the struggle of one character to come to terms with the reality of his life, and the manner in which this sudden change throws his world completely out of balance. The film shows a devotion to performance and storytelling and should be appreciated for the same.
