Driven by the love he feels towards a
colleague of his, a man finds himself trapped in an abandoned high-rise
apartment with no food, water or electricity. Brought to life by Rajkummar Rao’s
incredible performance, who perfectly expresses his character’s slow agony,
this nerve-wracking claustrophobic film is another example of the quality one
can find in Indian independent cinema. A very inward-looking thriller that
paints Mumbai as a cold and oppressive city. Not your usual Bollywood fare.
