A film that beautifully juxtaposes two stories of lost love and parting, starring Naseeruddin Shah, is bound to tug at your heart.
Adhiraj Bose’s Interior Café Night, co-written with Sainee Raj, tells the simply woven tale of a cafe owner in Kolkata (Naseeruddin Shah) who meets his lost love (Shernaz Patel) after a 30-year gap.
Their conversation is contrasted with another couple at the cafe (Naveen Kasturia and Shweta Basu Prasad) who are dealing with the agony of parting, as the woman is leaving town.
The essence of the film lies in the realisation that the young couple is only a mirror to the elder one, and what happens next is something you need to watch.
