As a society, we need to understand that people around us are going through something or the other, even on an individual level one is always going through something, we need to understand it, we need to learn about it, and seek help. Try to educate people around you about mental illness, this is also empowerment - to learn about oneself.”

The film is a story about a girl named Rupali, it is a story of an ordinary girl, who is living her life out of sheer will, and what happens to her, is the entire film.”
