The Plot
In the walled city of Old Delhi, a reclusive shopkeeper spends his days obsessively watching people through hidden close circuit cameras. When he overhears a boy being beaten, he begins to frantically search for the child. As he becomes lost in the labyrinthine alleys of the city and recesses of his mind, his grasp on reality falters, until he eventually stumbles across a shocking truth.
Says Dipesh Jain, who has not only written the screenplay but also directed the film, besides producing it, “While I was researching for a documentary on child abuse, I came upon articles proving that adults with a history of child abuse were more prone to developing schizophrenia. I learnt how those kids were trapped in fear all their lives and were never able to cope with it even as adults. This added a new dimension to my fear of entrapment and I decided to tell the story as a fictional narrative that would talk about a pressing social issue of child abuse while addressing my personal fears.”
