This is Onirs first film which doesn't have an original song. Thus begins an interesting relationship between two unlikely characters, one overly compensating, but in denial of her present, and the other buried under a dark secret of his past. They meet or rather talk, for the first time over a misplaced call when Archana accidentally dials Alfaaz's (Zain Khan Durrani) number, while trying to connect with her latest blind date. She is leukodermic but lives life to the fullest. Among his many fans is the boisterous Archana ( Geetanjali Thapa), a girl working at a creative agency – which designs branded memes. The movie also traverses through the maze of suffering, grief, regret, shortcomings, flaws, and loneliness that nobody in this world is spared from. Archie embraces her flaws, which is the exact meaning of living a flawless life.Every night at 10, Kolkata tunes into radio to listen to 'Kuchh Bheege Alfaaz' – an episodic series of unrequited love stories hosted by RJ Alfaz who, despite his tremendous following, prefers staying detached and anonymous. When there is a dearth in the depiction of vitiligo warriors in pop culture, it’s refreshing to have a protagonist who does not conceal her white patches behind layers of make-up in order to live up to the unreasonable standards. Props to Durrani’s orgasm-inducing voice (as admitted by Archie in the film).Ĭoming back to Archie- her persona exudes vibrancy and she wears a smile that can literally brighten anyone’s day. The appeal of this movie is that it accentuates the significance of conversations-which are often with shayri in this case-that deepen their bond. The film navigates her life and how after tons of disappointing dates on Tinder, she finally stumbles upon RJ Alfaaz (Durrani), thanks to a misdirected phone call. The plot thickens as we realize that Archie is already a die-hard fan of RJ Afaaz and is unaware that she is conversing with the same person. For the unversed, Vitiligo is an incurable skin condition where one faces the loss of skin colour in patches. The character of Archana AKA Archie, essayed by Thapa, is an uber-confident woman who bravely faces insecurities around her Vitiligo patches without shying away from truly living her life. ![]()
