It is a short Hindi film. Written & directed by Ram Mani Tripathi. It stars Satyam Tiwari, Purva Trivedi.
He rides a two wheeler to earn more after office hours. A girl hires him to go to the market. They have a fight. She puts certain conditions. He refuses & asks her to hire another ride. To which she relents & rides with him.
Reaching home safely, she asks him to pick up & drop her regularly. A sweet end. But I would not label it as ‘love’. Like or trust, maybe.
Another part two caught my eye. Unforgettable Encounters. This story tells society’s mindset of transgender community. Starring Satyam Tiwari, Rucha Gupta, Sakshi Yadav. Directed by Ram Mani Tripathi.
He is hired by a kinnar & she makes him go to a hospital. She disappears inside. He tries to find her. But she isn’t there. Later as he rides away, she is sitting behind him!
Today I saw the third part. This is the latest. Released on 21 Jan 2024. Directed by Ram Mani Tripathi. Starring Iqbal Ahmed, Satyam Tiwari, Khursheed Tabaan.
He is hired by an old man. The man has luggage. To which he says he cannot afford a cab. The destination is ‘old age home’. Shelling out Rs 100, the man refuses his help & enters in.
Drinking tea at the tea stall outside, the old man is back. Asking for a cup of tea. Surprised he asks why. There is no vacancy. He is given a form to fill up. And sent out in the cold night to fend for his own.
He goes to the old man’s son. Asks him to fill up the form. Hesitating at the door, says ‘You haven’t filled in your name. Your father was denied entrance. So he wanted you to make an advance booking! ‘
The son comes to the father & gets him home. The two wheeler wala ‘s work is done.
Every tiny story has a message. Loud & clear. Without mincing words. Good viewing.
