Rahul is an actor who is still waiting for his big break. He has a young daughter, Kali, from his previous marriage to Salini, a depressed alcoholic whose second husband is the powerful police chief Bose. Despite his honest and upstanding air, Bose is actually an authoritarian and dangerous man, capable of mistreating his wife and his enemies. Kali’s disappearance during a visit to her father opens up a Pandora’s box in which reality and lies, and love and greed, make for a dangerous combination.

Anurag Kashyap (India, 1972) is one of India’s most important directors in recent years; he has also produced, scripted and acted in over forty films. His debut feature-length film, Paanch, wasn’t distributed due to a ban by the Indian Censor Board, but the following year, his second feature film, Black Friday, was presented at the Locarno Film Festival. Among the films he has directed, Ugly (2013) premiered at the Quinzaine des réalisateurs in Cannes (and was then presented in Turin) and Bombay Velvet (2015) at the Festival in Locarno. Films he has produced include Trishna (2012) by Michael Winterbottom and Lunchbox (2013) by Ritesh Batra, made in collaboration with Torino Film Lab.

Declaration
film director
“The film is about that time of life, when we face crisis and when we look back, we realize, all our dreams remained unfulfilled. It is then that we realize how fragile we are and how trapped we are among moralities and other things. There are so many things around us which we end to overlook, especially in today’s time when our eyes don’t shift from our smartphones and we don’t even care to take interest what’s going on just next to us. It’s a very emotional film in the garb of a very strong thriller; and it’s a very ‘straight’ film.”
