Sweet little film, asking for your support
What do you do on a Sunday? It’s when the world around us seems relatively slower. The alarm rings later and you want visitors to come in the evening. There won’t be the same kind of solace for another six days.
Some Mumbai youngsters feel the same way but they don’t want to spend their Sunday idling. They play football on the beach. One of them is Arjun Anand (Barun Sobti), a fairly popular face on TV. Soft spoken and kind-hearted Arjun asks an elderly person to join their Sunday game after a chance encounter on a foot over-bridge. The older guy hits the ball that lands on a local politician’s head. She, in retaliation, bans all games on the beach.
This is the beginning of a nightmare for the six youngsters. It gives Dominic (Vishal Malhotra) a chance to calm his nerves after a tiff with his mother. A frail Mehernosh (Nakul Bhalla) can’t vent his anger against bullies anywhere else. Shahana Goswami’s Kaavi, Avinash Tiwary’s Rashid and Jay Upadhyay’s Jayesh also need some ‘me’ time to recharge. Arjun, who left his well-paying job, is also under pressure to get ‘settled’. They’re all running from something or the other. And now there’s not place to unwind.
They set out to find a place to play in the big city – but there’s no space.
Outward and inward, it’s a journey. They are scared of something, but sooner or later they need to tackle those issues, and one day’s leisure is what renews their energy to take on the world.
Tu Hai Mera Sunday is concerned about our wellbeing. It’s a sweet, little film asking for your support.
