Director Statement

Dabba is all about unsaid love. A lot of times our partners fail to express their love either because expressing love was never encouraged in their families or they were simply shy. But its not that they don't do it. Its in little things, daily sacrifices they make. As their partner, lot of times we fail to recognize their hidden feelings in their gestures or start taking them for granted. In worst case, start feeling a void in our love life. Dabba is one such story of a shy girl whose silent love speaks out when it mattered the most.
