A Film by Adeeb Rais
20 Minutes 48 Seconds | India | Hindi
Synopsis: “Mumbai is often described as a city that never slows down — but for Sameer, time has stood still.
After a tragic accident, his girlfriend Priya has been in a clinical coma for over nineteen months. Since that day, his world has been suspended between hospital corridors and office deadlines, as he struggles to balance the weight of his demanding job with the quiet, relentless devotion of caring for the love of his life.
His already fragile existence is shaken when Priya’s mother, Lekha, decides to move her daughter back to their family home in Indore. The relationship between Sameer and Lekha is fraught with tension and unspoken grievances, and her decision forces them into a painful conflict: where does Priya truly belong? Sameer cannot bear the thought of losing her — even in this state of stillness — while Lekha is determined to reclaim her daughter.
Raat Din Din Raat is a tender, haunting story of hope and heartbreak, of love tested by time and circumstance, and of the deep, complicated compassion that binds people together in moments of unbearable pain.”
