drama · Short Films · hindi

The intentions of the short film are noble, determined by an inherent idea of hope. The execution of the same is achieved by an approach that employs no verbal articulation or dialogue. The entirety of the plot unfolds by way of a conversation over a phone screen that the protagonist is having with an unnamed, unknown person who reaches out to him during an especially difficult night.

Could then the protagonist be having a conversation with just himself? That is up to the viewer to decide. As for the story itself, it continues to elucidate all its underpinnings and motivations for the viewer, those that include love, loss, heartache, relationships and the obstacles one faces when they take flight from conformity. The progression, all along, allows the final result to be marked by a definitive beginning, middle and end.
