KIRDAR

 

Kirdar is a moving short film that captures the quiet turmoil of a struggling theatre actor in Delhi, torn between the character he yearns to portray on stage — Shakespeare’s Hamlet — and the role he’s failing to play in real life: that of a father. Praveen, consumed by his artistic obsession, finds his personal and professional lives on the verge of collapse. As he prepares for an audition that could define his career, he must also confront a deeper truth — one that lives in the silence between him and his young son. A story about ambition, identity, and redemption, Kirdar blurs the lines between art and reality, performance and presence. Shot with raw intimacy and emotional realism, this is a quiet storm of a film — subtle, poetic, and deeply human.
