Director Statement

In Adrak Wali Chai, Vikram Viviek uses chai as a metaphor, portraying life as a blend that reflects the choices of the one crafting it. Just as tea can be prepared to be strong, sweet, or mild, life too mirrors the actions and decisions we make. Through this short film, he beautifully conveys that life's flavor is in our hands to shape, whether it is soothing, intense, or refreshing.

The story is set in a small tea café, where a chance encounter between two former lovers becomes a moment of introspection and rekindled hope. The film focuses on moments that are subtle, yet full of emotion, highlighting how a shared past and a cup of tea can lead to new beginnings. In a world where life is often unpredictable, it is the simple yet profound connections that define us.

By using chai as a symbol, Adrak Wali Chai serves as a reminder that life, much like the perfect cup of tea, depends on how we choose to brew it. It is a celebration of moments, choices, and the warmth that can come from unexpected encounters.
