Synopsis
Parmeshwar Khanna (Jaaved Jaaferi), a once-successful film producer now living with his son inside a crumbling theatre. His life takes an unsettling turn when he becomes involved in a treasure hunt alongside his son’s friends. As the search unfolds, layers of greed, illusion, and buried secrets begin to surface. The narrative gradually blurs the line between reality and perception, offering a surreal and symbolically charged examination of human desire, where the audience’s understanding of truth increasingly departs from that of the characters.[5]
