Shirish and Geeta, an upper middle class Indian couple in Lucknow, accidently run over a rickshaw driver with their car. The tragedy brings forth not just their differing reactions to the accident and the consequences of holding on to their beliefs but also reveals fissures in their own relationship. Through this young couple’s tale, Indian American filmmaker Ashish Pant explores the apparent chasm that exists – and has always existed – in India between the haves and have-nots. Aptly titled, “The Knot” (“Uljhan”), Pant’s directorial debut – which will be screened at the Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles, to run May 20-27 – illustrates entrenched class structures which come with certain privileges or lack thereof but does not pick sides, ultimately letting the viewers take a hard look at things around them.
