At this critical moment, Abhijit encounters a person named Abdu, who takes an interest in his life and becomes a source of support. As the narrative progresses, the lives of Abhijit and Abdu become intertwined, creating a mutual dependence. Through extensive background research, including media monitoring and literature reviews on mental health, the project draws inspiration from real-life incidents to develop a compelling storyline.
The script is carefully crafted to portray the character's growth and transformation. The project emphasizes the importance of small achievements in Abhijit's journey towards healing. Practical aspects such as script breakdown, location scouting, and assembling a production crew are meticulously carried out once the script is finalized. The production and post-production phases provide valuable hands-on experience and insights, including technical knowledge, crew management, and the need for effective scheduling.
Overall, this project aims to deliver its message in a straightforward and relatable manner. By showcasing the impact of family dynamics, societal pressures, and personal relationships on mental health, it seeks to generate awareness and empathy. Through the story's progression and Abhijit's encounter with Abdu, the project highlights the importance of support systems and small victories in overcoming mental health challenges.
