I think I've become a fan of Geetanjali Thapa. This is her second film I've watched in a row, and I absolutely liked it.
A girl in her mid-twenties shifted to Mumbai from Sikkim to attend a job interview in a big corporate house. She was living at her friend's apartment. Just a day before her interview, alone in the apartment she was visited by a laborer who was contracted over phone by her friend to paint living room's wall. Reluctantly she let him in and start working.
Everything was going as usual until, all of a sudden, she discovered the person collapsed while working, and was lying down on the floor as if dead. Panicked she rushed for help calling securities, neighbors, but could hardly manage getting him to a nearby hospital. Doctor suggested he had a brain hemorrhage, and might die if not operated immediately. As story revealed, it appeared that the laborer had no identity card or valid phone number to trace his relatives or anyone who can identify him. The girl got involved unwillingly and found herself burdened with unnecessary responsibilities while she had to attend the much desired interview. Her friends, at some point, started blaming her for being so naive and emotional about a stranger's life. She argued on basic humanitarian ground, and decided to move ahead to trace his family on herself, which led her to urban slums and many other dark parts of the city.
The film will make you feel lost in a mess of a metropolitan city where every human being seems to be trapped in a system. Humanitarian aspect of life is ignored as people get busier with getting jobs, networking, improving standard of living, enjoying weekends over loud parties and what not. Amidst all of these, what remains unheard is the true calling of our heart. We start hanging out with wrong people, get ourselves into wrong profession. And, yet we carry on a pretentious life just to keep pace with the urban culture, to keep our head above water to survive in this never ending race.
