About The Event
Written & Directed by- Debanshu Shekhar
Synopsis- Should the rules for a new friendship change with age? Meet ROOPALI aka ROOP, a widow in her late 50s, who has lived the prime years of her life compromising and adjusting to her family expectations and needs. Her favourite vegetable is BHINDI, but she does not eat it because her family does not like it. This story is about how she explores a new friendship with an old man named BHASKAR during THE LAST INNINGS of her life and takes a step to prioritize herself. As she rediscovers companionship and forgotten desires, ROOPALI begins to challenge the roles she has silently played for decades. BHINDI is a tender and moving tale of courage, connection and the quiet rebellion of choosing oneself, no matter the age.
