Woh Khaas

By Ankit Bhardwaj with 6.5

romance · Short Films · hindi

Vihan, a successful business magnate, has chosen to book a shared cab to take some time off from his regular life of luxury. Little does he know that he is about to chance upon a stranger, Sandini, who will completely change the course of his day.

As soon as Sandini sits in the car, an instant chemistry sparks between them, leading the two to be involved in a fun, lighthearted conversation with each other. This also comes to determine the tone of the rest of the narrative, which further employs music, songs and a constant banter between its characters. From restaurants and rooftops to streetside chaat vendors, their day consists of it all, taking the viewer along throughout. The music and visuals further offer a notably complementary coupling. The actors, though showing a little want of nuance and subtlety in their characters, render perhaps the perfect performance for their target audience.

Supported by all of these components the story continues to develop. However, amidst the ease, joy and the thrilling excitement of a new romance, a disturbing revelation awaits the viewer. How will it come to affect the fate of Vihan and Sandini?
