The premise is incredibly wacky and yet simple, and thus, smart writing, direction and acting is necessary in order for the film to be convincing. It certainly is, thanks to Gour's skillful hold on the subject matter. He makes all of it seem effortless, and ties the themes of love, loneliness, urban relationships and sexual identity in the script that peeks into the private lives of a couple. He skillfully melds elements of fantasy with reality and keeps the film's narrative light-hearted and eerily suspenseful without going off the charts. From the get-go, we are drawn to the lives of Ritika and Mohit and the film manages to keep us hooked through delicious twists and turns with an ample doze of humour.Read at source
Fairy Folk
Ritika and Mohit are an urban couple whose marriage has settled into habit when their car breaks down at night in Mumbai's Aarey forest and they encounter a strange, genderless being. They flee, only to find the being has followed them home, leaving them unsure whether to send it away. As Mohit begins to train and control the visitor like a pet or project, the arrangement strips the lid off a worn-out relationship and the desires each partner has been avoiding.
