Sandwiched between two godawful short films in Ankahi Kahaniya—the new anthology on Netflix—is director Abhishek Chaubey’s near-silent near-perfect story about solitude in a big city.
We discuss the jarring discrepancy in quality in these three chapters, how director Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari failed to capitalise on an intriguing premise, and why director Saket Chaudhary might get slapped by Meryl Streep.
Along the way, we lament at the state of Bollywood that continues to deny feature opportunities to a talent like Chaubey.
