==Plot==<br />
The screenplay of this film is based on two poems, two essays and six short stories by [[Gajanan Madhav Muktibodh]] and the title of film is taken from one of his short story used in the film.<ref>{{cite AV media |people=Waugh, Thomas |date=1988 |title=Mani Kaul - Interview with Thomas Waugh |medium=Youtube |language=English |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCe_zcmJfoY |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211220/uCe_zcmJfoY |archive-date=2021-12-20 |url-status=live|access-date=5 July 2019|time=29:20 |location=Mumbai |publisher=Indian Doc Film}}{{cbignore}}</ref> The film is neither a biopic nor an adaptation, or an essay, nor fiction, and yet it engages with all these forms producing a cinematic text that defies any categorization. The narrative is fashioned around three characters: Ramesh ([[Bharath Gopi]]) who embodies Muktibodh's subjectivity where as Madhav (Jha) and Keshav ([[M. K. Raina]]) are his companions. All three saunter in and out of numerous [[mise-en-scène]], driven by the political, philosophical underpinnings of Muktibodh's universe.<br />
