Arif Zakaria starrer 'Ahaan' has just dropped on Netflix. The film directed by Nikhil Pherwani narrates the story of a young man with Downs Syndrome, who develops a friendship with a neighbour suffering from obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Zakaria, who plays the role of the neighbour, says the story is both heartfelt and unique.
“I was blown away when Nikhil Pherwani narrated the story to me. In fact Abuli Mamaji, who plays the lead part of the person with Downs Syndrome, suffers from the same in real life too. So that’s totally real… The passion of the filmmaker was infectious. He had no money to shoot, which earlier I thought would be an impediment but he managed. The finished product has a nice feel to it, which money could’ve never brought to the film I feel. We all shot it for fun around Mumbai and that was it,...

strong>Ahaan
Starring Abuli Mamaji, Arif Zakaria, Niharika Singh, Plabita Borthakur
Written & Directed by Nikhil Pherwani
The best thing about this short, sweet, benign drama is its upbeat mood. Even when the situation gets sticky for Ahaan, played by a real-life Down Syndrome-d chap, he is forever walking on sunshine. The film follows suit. It is frothy and ebullient,unwilling to bring in the clouds even rain is forecast.
Ahaan opens with the protagonist looking down from his room at boys playing cricket. We know how this sequence would go. There is very maturely portrayed relationship between Ahaan and his constant companion Hari (Haresh Raut) who is more than the domestic help. Hari is the brother, the sounding board and the cheerleader Ahaan never had.
When Ahaan’s surly Ocd-stricken neighbour Ozzy’s wife leaves him, we know how it is going to go. If you crave for surprises in your cinematic experience,...
