Laghu, translating to ‘short and beautiful’, stitches together three stunning individual performances of women-centric stories – Krishna Baldev’s ‘Udaan’, Manav Kaul’s SAPNA, and Ismat Chughtai’s TIL.
In Udaan, four married women who are neighbours and fast friends decide to break away from the drudgery of their daily lives to spend a day doing what they please on the streets of Delhi, raising eyebrows.
In Manav Kaul’s SAPNA, a man reminisces about how his dreams crisscrossed with that of the woman who was the love of his life, till one day, the moment of reckoning arrived.
Ismat Chughtai's TIL narrates the story of how a painter with a reputation to guard finds the lines between the professional and personal blurring, as he experiences desire and possession.
