Third Wish (Teesri Khwaish)

a film by Purandhya Sharma, Rustam Mazumdar and Shuchi Prasad

Non-fiction | India | 2019

Whether the fog settles on the tracks tonight or not, a cloud of enigma consumes New Delhi Railway Station. Whether the train arrives at platform number 5 or not, we are promised a journey. What happens to the passengers who fall victim to the menacing station, who rely partly on the bookseller and entirely upon fate to reach home safely? Will a third wish be granted? These stories are absurd and precarious in their unfolding, unimaginable yet common, and thus those at the station inevitably become puppets in the hands of God.
