Mithi (Konkona Sen Sharma) looks into the saffron-clad sham (Evening) whence the whole scene transforms into a classroom of Physics where Anjali (Shabana Azmi), Mithi’s elder sister lectures on the laws of Quantum Mechanics.
Einstein’s theory of Relativity tells us that an atom can exist at two different locations at the same time.
What is then reality? Is it a perception of the human mind?
What right do we have on denying a schizophrenic's illusion to be real?
What right do we have on denying a schizophrenic's illusion to be real?
Aparna Sen takes us beyond just the lives of schizophrenic Mithi; she takes us to the theories of Quantum Mechanics and psychology that drill into the fictional world of reality. The fictional world of 15 Park Avenue.
After a traumatic gang rape and getting dumped by her boyfriend Jojo (Rahul Bose), Mithi’s reality is lapsed into the rambling delusions of a happy family and children that await her at her home in 15 Park Avenue. Her quest on finding that unreal reality of her home is what the movie portrays. It touches on the lives of those individuals close to Mithi and how they affect her eccentricity and presence of mind. From Jojo’s comeback to Anjali’s failure in understanding her academic concepts that in actual define her sister’s mental stability to that real illusory of 15 Park Avenue, this movie might not be your usual Hindi potboiler, but certainly will make you look at schizophrenic patients in a different light.
Watch this movie on a tranquil Sunday if you haven’t because it’s a journey into the blissful nothingness of reality. Into the silence of an illusion that screams an unbelievable muteness.

A painting and a book presents the scenario as seen by the painter and author. Cinema a true amalgam of words, pictures (motion), is an art form from entirely different dimension and one realizes this fact only upon witnessing the work of a true master, which seems to be the case here. Aparna Sen needs no commendation, but u, Mr. Devil S., need 2:
1. For posting it here.
