Anurag
Kashyap
Sobhita
Dhulipala
plays
the
role
of
a
woman
who
is
trying
to
conceive
a
child,
after
suffering
from
a
miscarriage
in
the
past.
This
one
is
a
bit
trippy,
in
story
and
in
visuals.
Sobhita's
character,
when
young
was
yelled
at
by
her
mother
for
destroying
bird's
eggs.
'If
you
touch
a
bird's
egg,
the
bird
destroys
it'
despite
knowing
at
a
young
age
Sobhita
had
made
the
mistake
of
touching
an
egg
and
now
believes
that's
why
she
is
losing
her
unborn
children.
On
the
other
hand,
she
has
a
nephew
who
is
obsessed
with
her.
Growing
up
without
a
mother
can
be
hard
and
he
has
taken
to
his
Masi
a
lot
after
his
mother's
passing.
The
emotional
dependency
increases
to
a
point
that
he
can't
bear
for
her
to
have
children
of
her
own.
While
Sonhita
loses
her
grip
on
reality
due
to
losing
her
child,
her
nephew
is
happy
now
thinking
he
will
always
get
to
be
by
his
masi's
side.
Dibakar
Banerjee
The
director
has
a
very
strong
opinion
on
the
country's
political
stance.
This
short
story
is
about
political
and
societal
influence
one
can
exercise
on
the
vulnerable
people
of
our
society.
When
in
an
unknown
town,
our
lead
character
finds
out
people
of
two
district
(who
hate
each
other)
have
been
eating
each
other.
Their
hatred
has
driven
them
mad
and
turned
them
into
animals,
while
the
lead
still
believes
he
can
save
the
two
children
in
his
care,
he
tries
to
get
help.
Eventually,
one
child
gets
killed
and
the
other
gets
turned
into
an
animal
himself.
The
weak
and
the
vulnerable
have
two
choices,
either
you
become
the
victim
of
the
system
or
you
join
the
system.
And
at
the
end
of
the
film,
even
though
the
lead
is
unaware
he
too,
to
save
himself
ends
up
joining
the
system.
Karan
Johar
The
last
segment
of
the
film
is
the
simplest
one
and
does
actually
have
ghosts
in
it.
Mrunal
Thakur
seen
as
Ira
finds
a
match
through
an
arranged
marriage,
the
traditional
way.
As
soon
as
she
gets
married
she
finds
out
everyone
in
the
family
talks
about
their
dead
grandmother
as
though
she
is
alive.
Unnatural
that
the
behaviour
is,
instead
of
running
the
other
way
she
tries
to
solve
the
problem,
makes
changes,
questions
the
granny's
existence
and
as
to
answer
her
request
the
family
kills
her
off
on
the
grandmother's
order.
Ira
does
meet
the
granny
on
the
other
side
and
all
the
other
people
who
also
had
questioned
granny's
existence.
