Synopsis
Chaurahen is a love story of life, that we have to bear that turns the fantasy of love into the reality of everyday. This film, almost like snippets of collected photographs, brings together similar disconnected people in search for something to overcome the mundaness of reality.
This film, which is very different from anything seen in modern Indian cinematic narration, characters are connected, perspectives are skewed, morality is left ambiguous and the gray area between right and wrong is explored, often through overlapping streams of plots. No journey is ever completed, only traveled upon and journalistically, almost too stark real accuracy, accounted for. This is so that our characters don’t appear fake or heroic, but seem to have altered some event, just slightly, at the end of which, a little victory is achieved or a life is nudged into hope or out of equilibrium.
