Gachchi (film)

Shriram is a kindhearted, honest, young man with the weight of the world on his young shoulders. He toils every day – selling pickles and papads door to door – to repay a loan borrowed by his deceased father, so he can finally move on with his own life. The due date is upon him, and Shriram must somehow arrange for the money to prevent getting ousted from his own home. As he is contemplating his next move, Shriram spots someone on the edge of the terrace of a towering building. It turns out to be Keerti, who is dealing with her own set of existential issues and does not want to be interrupted by anyone in her contemplative moments, least of all this bumbling stranger! Shriram and Keerti get off on the wrong foot, but circumstances keep them on the terrace long enough to learn of and understand each other’s woes. A terrace is a unique space… within the city, yet isolated from it… providing a vantage point to the crazy world below. Being on a terrace is almost like taking a break from yourself and rising above yourself for a little while. Sometimes, it gets difficult to find solutions while in the thick of a problem. But, taking a look at the question from afar may just give us perspective and the answer! At the beginning, Shriram and Keerti come to the terrace as two strangers, carrying their own baggage. But by the end of the day, will they climb down, free of complications, ready for a new beginning, as strangers no more…?

The songs were composed by Avinash Vishwajeet with lyrics by Priya Bapat and Abhay Mahajan.
