Adheen, is a 21 minute Gem of a shor film about a dysfunctional family of 4
The film captures the pains & poignancy of a family that cant be together due to circumstances, due to friction in relationships

Sanjay Mishra live with his critically ailing wife who is bed ridden for years together & is running out of money to meet her financial condition. The couple have 2 children who don't stay with them & are struggling with issues of their own in life

The Daughter played by the beautiful Anupriya Goenka, is in a same gender relationship & her mother throws her out of the house many years ago. She is still nursing a grudge against her family for the stand they took

The son is living an all messed up life with betting & gambling being his only source of income & profession & is running in debts

Its a story of how the relationship in the family is so complexed & complicated for want of financial success. The father eventually decides that he has had enough of staying alone with a critically sick patient day in & day out. One might feel that the Husband is being selfish in giving up on the wife, but there is a scene in the movie where Sanjay Mishra breaks down to say that he has had enough & goes on to detail how the room where he has to sleep everyday is filled with Stench of urine, stool & how the bed sheets are also littered with the same as they cant afford a medical attendant or nurse to help them with hygiene

Sanjay Mishra stands out yet again in depicting the angst & pathos of a partner who after having religiously served her better half has given up & now wants to live a life in the beautiful memories than living with the pain of a partner dying everyday

It also depicts that how the children are not ready to take care of their mother owing to the mess & struggle that they are going through in their life

The movie makes one wonder & ponder that financial stability is a key factor to maintain harmony in family
