It’s been impossible to find any information on this film but I am intrigued nevertheless simply from watching the trailer. Don’t be tricked into thinking this is another Bollywood film. Instead this falls more into the arthouse category, which is surprising for an Indian film. Again the intrigue.

What I know about the storyline is limited to this: A young man returns to his small town after living a pretty happy and liberal existence at boarding school for eight years. His father promptly forces him to start work at a steel factory, which is pretty much the last thing Rohan wants to do since all he is interested in is words and becoming a writer. Can he somehow create the life he dreams of and find creative freedom despite his circumstances? I’m going to go out on a limb and say this one is worth a go if only to satisfy the curiosity.

Rating: 3.5 outta 5.
