What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Dulal and Mainak peddle an unremarkable screenplay while coping with rent, hunger, rejection, and Bollywood gatekeeping.
Dulal's attraction to Ruma collides with the three-day opportunity to co-write Gonzo Kapoor's film, threatening the writers' partnership.
The protagonists sell screenplays, encounter another struggling Kapoor, and mock filmmaking conventions through their everyday film-world frustrations.
The film includes an animated set-piece involving a cat, cocaine, and a fish bowl.
