some people are lucky to meet a good stranger, but some are unlucky to meet a bad stranger.

I really liked the quote “The circle doesn't have an end or a beginning but it can always grow bigger”..

[@vandanajhaveri-zj4rd]

True, during COVID days it would be foolish to have someone enter the house but also foolish to order food from outside. Also, it made me feel small for most of us have such an attitude and a sense of entitlement. Most of us need more humility. It was a good one!😊

[@zoningout03]

Exactly. We're traumatized with whatever goes around the world. But not everyone is the same.

[@zraruko9683]

How confident was the delivery girl!👌

[@pritideepabehura141]

Delivery lady is a gem💙🥺

[@shivikaupadhyayxa2696]

I like it how suspense thriller films end on a negative note but this one had a positive ending which was rare ❤️

[@hksg]

The stranger we get vs the strangers we need

[@zenic5728]

She is so humble and her beautiful smile and positive way of expressing things ❤❤❤❤

[@metermorphose]

Such a lovely film. It makes me realise, it's sometimes the own fear, which keeps us away from living.

[@regfree]

Good one! Kept me hooked till the end. Amazing acting by the delivery lady 🙂

[@manishgarg6273]

In corona as well, medical stores were open, she said that all shops are close so she can't get pad. Secondly story wise it was good but having some completely stranger as roommate is very risky. Here it has been shown that she was hesitating because they had different financial status and way of living but even if same then also you can't have completely unknown person because home is the a place where you live with a thinking that there you are safe, a person who is inside can do anything. May be in Mumbai, strangers also live in same rented apartment with less interaction and keeping rooms locked.

kya aap confused ho? मझधार में है ज़िन्दगी kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3XZq6aFiJycr9E

[@jayati2385]

Yeah it was very risky to let a stranger allow into the house though she was financially more stable

[@jayati2385]

And may be it was around 9 or 10 and because of the situation, no shops were open outside

[@omtoolika]

I miss my roomie so bad watching this❤ was really lucky to have her. Good friends are one's support system...if we find one, we are blessed ,lucky & strive to keep them around ❤

[@raktimkamalbaruah445]

Such a well written story and nicely executed...loved it ❤

[@piyushmanocha8986]

[@sushgem5]

A well told story with a warm heart. Life is unexpected and biases we have hinder ourselves from connecting to many wonderful soul. Great effort by the team!!!

[@powerofthesun1000]

This was really sweet in the end, I'm lucky to have had some roommates who became friends, sometimes you just have to keep yourself open and a bit vulnerable. Good short!

[@melba.]

It really took me to Lockdown period… Well scripted… well crafted… every single thing was good… This Team did an excellent job👏👏👏

[@nareshdev4119]

Wonderful Short. Only woman could be the best friend of another woman. Really a great all-women script with equally splendid direction as well as performance. A sheer comparison betwenn traditional living and the so-called "modern" culture; after all traditions will always stay ahead of modernity. Tanvi is good but her flatmate [Asha] is on top! Thanks and congrats for such an all-female artistic creativity! We all are born strangers but could become life's best friends because life is a circle not a square.

[@john-jk2rf]

"Only a woman could be the best friend of another woman" 😂😂

[@zahednow]

Also women can be best enemy of another women

[@nareshdev4119]

Correct, two swords can't be put in a single cover. It all depends upon upbringing and culture.@@zahednow

[@shetty8572]

Curly hair lady is so weird, she is so scared of Corona that she did not want the delivery girl to use her washroom but she was ordering from outside (daily) when she doesn't even have a job.

[@sunillaagera3883]

No words😍🥰..... Happens.... Blessed souls get caught up in a unusual way💞💝

[@AsurGuru23]

कहानी अच्छी थी और इसका प्रस्तुतिकरण भी बढ़िया किया गया जो हमारे पूर्वाग्रहों पर चोट करते हुए सुखद अहसास कराती है। इन दोनों अभिनेत्रियों के अलावा जो तीसरा चरित्र कार्तिक का था,जिसकी हम बस आवाज़ ही सुन पाते हैं वो भी महत्वपूर्ण था। तन्वी की समस्याओं को सीरियस होकर सुनना और सही सलाह देना इसका प्लस पॉइंट है।

[@tanu1108]

But it's not safe to allow someone in washroom, it could be risky n dangerous

[@yashvivasava3354]

Yaa ur right

Log kab,kya kar jaye kya pata. Ab to ladka ho ya ladki dono se hi dar sa lagta hai. Kisi anjan ko ghar me aane Dena thik nahi. But koi sath me ho, family wala ya frnds to thik rehta hai.itna dar nahi lagta.

The only thing illogical about this is that delivery persons are not paid that handsomely that she can afford 10k rent + utilities

Because of more time we face betrayals, criticism; we run into bad people cheating us & breaking our trust, that Trust issues & over suspicions automatically generates. Tanvi's character is understandable. But sometimes we end up with good people too if only they wait & give us time to understand & accept ❤
