Synopsis

An Indian widow navigates eviction and rediscovery.

Contribution

Character-led hair, makeup, and costume design; supported multiple departments beyond her primary role during extreme production conditions.

The Chaos

Shot during Dubai's floods. One standout moment: wading through knee-deep water to fetch a plate of dal chawal for continuity. Difficult conditions throughout, but worth it for the final film.
