Background

During the horrific time of the pandemic, when the whole world came to a standstill, Joya and Sharmin get stuck in a house. Amidst the unknown dangers outside, they slowly build their own little world—where, bypassing their fears, they find shelter, safety, and comfort. The relationship, bound in the silent threads of friendship, gradually deepens and becomes meaningful. However, the harsh reality outside the confined walls slowly shakes the foundation of their bond. This narrative, built with a blend of courage, fear, friendship, and the pain of loss, highlights the subtle strains of human relationships touched by the grim times.

Reception

Wroted by Naveen Islam Noree in The Daily Star's survey "Jaya, portrayed extraordinarily by actress Jaya Ahsan, is a popular celebrity whose life takes a difficult turn upon learning about the suicide of an ignored follower. This tragedy triggers her gradual emotional breakdown, revealing a deep sense of loneliness beneath her public persona. Alongside Jaya is Sharmin, played by the talented Mohsina Akhter, whose powerful performance deepens the film's emotional impact".[10]
