Two strangers sharing an
all-night wild phone conversation on New year’s eve in NY city. After a brief
encounter at party, a random caller traveling in a car with his buddies after
party calls an enigmatic and leave me alone kind of girl living alone in her
hotel room. An all-night random phone call becomes sweet entertainment escape
from mundane boredom for a while as both of them starts digging each others
preferences about life, romance and relationships. They keep digging each other
a while with topics of sex, fetish, religion or movie preferences and then
slowly its getting in personal tone touching the chords of their past and
haunted memories. The conversation brings something so personal hidden part out
where limited validity of the adventure gives you freedom to be what you want
to be without emotionally making things complicated unnecessarily. Anonymity is
comforting and such situation may lead to an unlikely romance or something like
that!
Writer-director Sudhish Kamath’s
this experimental independent film is an interesting and sweet and minimalist
rom-com to watch without fail.The film is shot in B&W split-screen
naturally expressed by its two lead random callers Seema Rahmani and Manu
Narayan. There’s not much happen to screen except watching the facial
expressions of two callers in split-screen with a few intermittent scenes of
their past and poking fun sppofing Bollywood’s Karan Johar romance. But what
makes its interesting watch is the conversation itself without giving us a
moment of boredom; surely a fine write up by Kamath and Shilpa Rathnam. If you
like Woody Allen and ‘Before Sunrise’, surely this one is rom-com for you.
