STORY |
Dasrath
Joglekar (Nana Patekar), a celebrated writer travels to Delhi
to receive the prestigious 'Elegant Sahitya Samman'. During the
journey he meets a young filmmaker (Nakul Vaid) who is an ardent
fan of Dasrath's writing. The encounter with the aspiring filmmaker
brings back memories from Dasrath's past. Both of them travel
back in time, remembering characters from Dasrath's celebrated
novel JANAZA. Both of them reconstruct the true story of the novel's
protagonist – Lajvanti (Rekha) – from their own perspective;
the writer's own personal experience and the filmmaker's vision
and dream of making a film out of it. The writer also travels
back and forth in time in an unique journey with his wife Smita
(Deepti Naval) reliving various characters and moments of his
life and imagination. Thus fact and fiction merge together to
create a new journey.
After the gala award ceremony in New Delhi, Dasrath begins another
journey. The concept of his new novel and nostalgia of the previous
one haunts him. Dasrath disappears from his hotel without informing
the organizers. Tension mounts in his family and among other associates.
Where does he go? Why the sudden disappearance? What happens to
him? The unknown journey of Dasrath Joglekar leads to the climax.
