They
share
conversations
from
the
past
and
the
future
with
no
present
to
tie
them.
Some
real,
some
imaginary.
Their
togetherness
oscillating
between
what
was,
what
can't
be,
and
what
may
just
be
someday.

Shah
informs,
"SOMEDAY
is
my
first
trial
and
error
with
direction.
Our
labour
of
love
has
made
it
to
the
final
selection
of
USA
film
festival,
and
I
can't
even
begin
to
tell
how
excited
I
am.
The
reason
I
send
it
to
the
festivals
across
the
globe
was
to
see
where
I
stand
as
a
total
newcomer
in
direction.
And
this
is
such
a
big
assurance
that
I
must've
done
something
right."
Shefali
Shah
also
won
three
Best
Actor
awards

Awards
