Screenings
Synopsis
K is addicted to smoking and refuses to do anything about it. But it's when K's wife, Anjali, walks out on him that he decides to go meet Baba Bengali, who runs Prayogshala, a centre for rehabilitation from all sorts of addictions and afflictions. And when K goes to meet Baba Bengali, he walks into an agreement he can't walk out of. Proud and desperate, K pushes the buttons, throws caution to the wind and challenges Baba's diktats. He lights up once and his car blows to smithereens. And that's just the beginning. What follows is a breathless, smoky game of one-upmanship between the self-assumed all-knowing gatekeeper of the netherworld and a frantic, unsuspecting man. Finally, K realises that he can't escape Baba no matter what he tries. Until of course the contract is complete.
