What's it about: 'Rebel without a cause' is a state of mind synonymous with teens. They want to do everything that's forbidden, break norms, revolt against authority and act like nothing else but their own freedom matters. But Rohan's (Bharmecha) angst and radical behaviour have a reason. After being expelled from his boarding school in Shimla, he returns home to Jamshedpur only to be greeted by his tyrant father (Roy). Everything changes so quickly for Rohan that even the news of having a little step brother (Boradia) doesn't unsettle him. It doesn't take too long for him to realise that his dad, who he's forced to call 'sir', is using them as punching bags to vent his frustration. An aspiring writer, Rohan is made to work in his dad's scrap factory and pursue engineering. Udaan chronicles the suffocation and dynamics of a father-son relationship as one wants to stifle the other craving to break free and take flight.
