“At first, I never thought I would be able to do it, but once I learned it, it was amazing. The experience was so calming, I just didn’t find the need to talk.

The film portrays vulnerable relationships and the complex human psyche leaving everyone in dire straits.
Ajeeb Daastaans brings together four unusual stories with a range of unprecedented turn of events, diving into complex themes of fractured relationships, and human emotions such as jealousy, entitlement, prejudices and toxicity, and their effects.
