Woh Lamhe
Sana Azim used to live in Junagadh with her widowed mom, and was discovered by Nikhil Rai, who introduced her to Bollywood’s tinsel screen – and thence there was no looking back for this actress. She lived with Nikhil – albeit in a strange relationship – as he ordered her around, controlled, and even physically abused her. When Journalist/Film-maker Aditya Garewal wrote about Sana he described her in very unflattering terms, angering her, leading to a well-publicized confrontation – which was merely a ploy used by Aditya in order to compel Sana to act in his movie – a ploy which was successful. Both started working together and were drawn to each other – a closeness that will draw Aditya in to Sana’s dark and unstable world, a world where Sana is now controlled by a woman named Rani, who has made her believe that Aditya is going to kill her – and the only way to deal with this threat – is to kill Aditya first.

On the contrary, the students are clearly aware of the camera, and Kumar mentions it when he realizes that his presence is undeniably influencing the microcosm he is filming. From the many hours of material, he has edited together a documentary that leaps back and forth in time, providing insight into a remarkable place where the pressure to achieve is unprecedented. Extremely high intelligence is sometimes more of a burden than a blessing, and students are often heartbreakingly lonely.
