The Unwanted Guest

By Rajesh Shukla with 6.4

drama · Short Films · hindi

In an apartment that is consumed by shadows and darkness, a man arrives in the most suspicious manner. Because these events unfold during a pandemic, his face is covered by a mask, which he removes, along with his gloves, as soon as he enters. He is clearly an intruder, working surreptitiously, and in a hurry to get his task done of robbing the owner of this house.

This is the scene the film has set so far for the viewer. However, soon the owner himself arrives and a very different and unexpected set of events develop. In the process, the narrative comes across as being well-intentioned with an important message for the viewer, both pertaining to acts of kindness in a coronavirus-ridden world, as well as about the emptiness of hollow show-off to impress people who can perhaps never be pleased.
