Calls - Beyond Communication

An unidentified de-composed, cut-into-pieces body of a female was found wrapped in a Duppatta by the vigilance-officers in a truck on the Andhra-highway during check-post vigilance. Meanwhile, police have been investigating a series of deaths that have been caused in a mysterious way. Deputy Director Shailaja from forensic department assisting the police finds that though on the surface it appears to be natural and sudden deaths still, something critical was missing. She figures out that all murders were executed using some chemical substances.

Nandhini a 23 years old woman narrates a very important incident that she had encountered in her life on July 23rd. She is forced to take up a call centre job due to her family’s situation despite it having no relationship with her academic qualification. On July 23rd, her manager places a condition that she must achieve the target of at least 20 subscribers renewing their subscription before 6pm of that day. If, she doesn’t fulfil this condition, she will then be fired.

Being emotionally depressed with her situation she struggles through making the calls for the day. Each person who received her call was in a unique critical situation. While at calls, she is disturbed with calls on her mobile from an ‘unknown person’. With all these challenges Nandhini achieves her target and retains her job. While leaving the work place, the day takes a bad turn when she and her colleague are abducted by some strangers. How she survives this unforeseen bad situation is the sweet surprise.
