Curtain Call

The story of this film has been written making the great Shakespeare's famous dialogue "The world is a stage" the base for it. A group of friends assemble to celebrate the birthday of one of them at his place using the occasion to watch a 20-20 match between India and England too. They order pizza after a while. When their pizza gets delivered much late than the promised time, they vent out their anger on the pizza boy who has come to deliver the pizza. Later, they are informed that the guy who was originally supposed to deliver their pizza, met with an accident and unfortunately, was no more alive. That, exactly, was the reason for the late delivery. All the characters in the film have been modeled on the tragic characters of Shakespeare to stress on a simple but important message "The world is a stage and we are merely playing our characters".
