The main plot is minimalistically simple – A man named Astik Giri’s sudden demise leaves his entire family in a state of grief and shock. By family, I mean his relatives and his brother’s best friend.
Sounds simple right? But Sandhya (Sanya Malhotra), who got married to Astik 5 months ago, unlike everyone else, isn’t weeping.
A woman not weeping on the sudden death of her husband? A woman not breaking her bangles and not changing into only whites? A new widow who is asking for a cold drink? This isn’t a characteristic, and it isn’t breaking the stereotype. The writer and director, here, didn’t want to show ‘a new face’ of a widow. They just wanted to ask you, ask the audience that is it okay not to bang your head if your spouse dies? If you barely knew him/her.
