The Phone Call. Midway through the film, Aditi sneaks into her family’s garden shed during the chaotic wedding preparations. Clutching a cordless phone, she dials her lover. Vasundhara plays this scene with a cocktail of vulnerability and teenage recklessness. Her voice drops to a conspiratorial whisper, but her eyes betray the guilt she is trying to suppress.
