SANDEEP KUMAR VERMA

A classic case of serendipity is the crux of this film as it unfolds when a thief accidentally finds a bedridden old lady in an old mansion where he sneaks in to steal. A prolonged interaction ensues and he realizes that she is unable to speak and is left at the mercy of an irresponsible nurse. He then decides to carry out the burglary in installments over three months. An impossible journey of two unlikely individuals brought together by fate and an unavoidable emotional tangle forms the essence of this beautifully woven story. Firmly rooted in human emotions with outstanding performances, quality cinematography, impactful music and the symphony of situational comic.

Laden with undertones of an insatiably innocent grief, this film follows the journey of a child protagonist into the darknesses of life. Centering around their first encounter with something as grave as death, it seeks to pose questions onto the varied mythologies of death created by humans. While death remains to be a natural cycle, the film's psychological interventions make for noteworthy filmmaking.
