Private Project

Lakshmi Talkies

an interfaith couple steals a day for love. What begins as a simple date becomes a quiet act of defiance—each moment together, a heartbeat against hate. Amid the tension of a divided state, their tenderness becomes resistance, and their walk through the city a fragile, fearless journey.
