Directing
An arranged marriage in Mumbai, a cowardly, slacker husband and a slum of a house: the very ingredients that cause Uma to slowly transform into a feral and ruthless figure guided by her wildest impulses.
Set against the backdrop of Punjab, Chhalle Mundiyan is a romcom that traces the life of Jassi (Mandy Thakar) and foreign returned Pammi (Ammy Virk) with a Caucasian woman and a child of his friend.
A seemingly simple case of a missing girl, Poonam, puts Inspector Vishwas Bhagwat on a chase to find the culprit behind a sinister trail of disappearing girls. What happens next?
Patiala-based, London-returned Rohit Singh decides to re-locate to Mumbai in order to avoid getting married to Lovely, the daughter of Ballu Singh. Assisted by his paternal uncle, and accompanying his cousin's friend, Isha, he travels there by car. The duo start squabbling resulting in an accident, and compelling them to hitch a ride on a lorry. They end up driving it, and eventually in police custody as it was carrying weapons. Inspector Babloo Bajrangi is convinced of their innocence, releases them, and they continue squabbling all the way to Borivali, Mumbai. Hoping to have got rid of each other - the duo will be in for a surprise when they find out they live in the same colony.
To be uncomfortable with your sexuality or body is an experience only the person undergoing it can truly understand. For an outsider, especially in a heteronormative society where any movement away from what is considered the norm is seen as a deviant act, it often becomes a subject of ridicule, mockery and even discrimination. The perfect metaphor for it would be that only the wearer knows where the shoe bites, and it is indeed this analogy that becomes the idea guiding the narrative of the film. Made within a time frame of fifty hours, it takes us into the life of a character who battles the same dilemma of trying to fit into society, while internally being fully aware that he is different.
