Synopsis: This film tries to trace the life of a silent majority embodied by its characters who are caught in the cross-fire of a riot in a politically heated area of Mumbai. Vijay, the eldest son awaits an appraisal that could financially help his mother and sister significantly when him and Niral, his sister are pushed into getting their mother as she is caught in the cross-fire of a riot.

This was my first time conceptualising and working on a short film that involves a political context. I took this as a challenge since I had never worked on a topic like this before and hence, made it my university final semester thesis project.
