Synopsis

A writer moves into the palatial house of a friend to find creative inspiration. A chance telephonic chat with a mysterious woman blossoms into love as he finally finds what he was looking for.

Our take

Romance transcends appearances and belongs instead to the telephone in this modern-day fairytale by the late Mrinal Sen. Adapted from a story by renowned author Saadat Hasan Manto, this heartstealer about two lonely, pensive souls is elaborate with detail and rich in swoonworthy serendipity.
