When you watch Kadakh, you are reminded of a Diwali party you may have thrown at home, when your friends, varied as they come, troop in, with their own problems and joys. Someone will say something offensive and then bam, the party turns into a mad house. And everyone is now dealing with who they really are and where they come from.

"It's really like the world we are living in now, during the pandemic, where we are forced to question who we are and what we believe in," says actor Cyrus Sahukar, who has written the dialogues for the film. Written and directed by Rajat Kapoor, it released on SonyLiv last week. "It will either reassure you of your place in the world, or disturb the notion of that place," adds Kapoor. Set on Diwali day, the film sees a happy dinner turn chaotic after an unexpected visitor arrives and tragedy unfolds.
