CIRCUIT A

The Throne with No Caste

An old commode, a silent garbage collector, and an American-returned daughter ignite a debate on caste, respect, and systemic blind spots in urban India. As social media goes viral, quiet discrimination takes center stage.

A biting satire that begins with bathroom humor — and flushes out much more.

Flat No. 36

A soldier arrives to defend an apartment from an impending attack — but its residents insist there must be some mistake. As absurdity escalates and reality blurs, the price of silence and anonymity comes due.

A darkly comic portrayal of how society unravels when law and order are just a façade and even staying under the radar doesn’t guarantee your safety.

प्रस्ताव (Prastaav)

A comedic riff on Chekhov’s The Proposal, this Hindi play follows Lallan Prasad as he brings a marriage proposal — only to end up in a chaotic spat over a parking spot. Sparks fly, tempers flare and twitchy nerves take center stage in this hilarious suburban showdown.

A modern Indian twist on mistaken intentions and matrimonial mayhem. Hindi, no supertitles.

CIRCUIT B

Meenu Alias Meenakshi

A failed lentil dish sparks a culinary crisis, leading Meenu on a soul-searching journey through tradition, love, and identity — guided by a ghostly grandmother-chef. Blending modern angst with ancestral wisdom, this is a warm, funny tale of making a bond over cooking.

Cooking becomes a portal to healing, heritage and unexpected grace.

Art of the Possible

Simmi wants out of her marriage — and she’s got a plan. A slightly unconventional one, that involves turning her in-laws’ fear of public shame to her advantage.

In this sharp comedy of manners, two families gather over high tea — where generational tensions simmer, social facades crack, and the cucumber sandwiches are perfectly cut. A brisk, witty take on how important appearances can be to some — and the art of the deal in your marriage.

Detour

When two women share an Uber in Delhi, an everyday ride spirals into a chilling power play between entitlement, justice and truth. A cab driver’s fate hangs in the balance as a woman weaponizes systems meant to protect her.

A sharp, unsettling satire on class, gender and how stories get rewritten.
