Aarsa

Directed by Kawa Hatef

Raju, an unnoticed dance hall caretaker, is absorbed by Sitara, the stern dance instructor. Her grace and elegance transfix him. Everyday, from the shadows, he watches her closely... But she never notices him. At home, Raju has to deal with his strict mother who expects him to become the man she imagines. Raju feels incomplete and conflicted - confined by who he is expected to be and his own wishes. One day an opportunity arises for Raju when Sitara forgets to put away her dance costume. Taking a leap in his exploration, he brings the dress home and his future is forever changed. His actions put him right in the path of collision with Sitara.
