Friction, Starring Sanjay Kapoor, Is Unbearably On-The-Nose And Shrill About Marital Discord

[shefali-59244 · 30 September 2021]

It's a family of Rs - Rahul (Sanjay Kapoor), Roskija (Shweta Kawaatra), and their son Rishi (Purab Mody). Rahul and Roskija are in the throes of marital discord, and the 20-minute film surfaces the arguments they had, establishing bad blood, in flashbacks - mostly about him wanting sex, mostly about him not fixing the car tyres, mostly about some simmering work-related resentment that he doesn't have the humility to accept and voice - as Rahul drives his car in fear in the present moment. (The sound of the government tanker watering the plants grown on the road divider dissolves into a flashback about the shower he had, alone, after a fight. It's all very on-the-nose.) Roskija and Rahul may have been in an accident. He may or may not be responsible. He is definitely drunk.
