Lovely visuals. Shot very well by the director Mihirr Upadhyay.. Performances are recommendable. A MUST WATCH.👍🌹👍”

The Blind Date is a story of how blindness sometimes bares that soul.
Raghav and Najma, lovers of diametrically opposite faith, have a relationship that speaks volumes of their love and connection with each other. They have seen, ironically, dreams of a future together.
Lived experiences of enjoying sunsets at the beach, cherished good food and made promises, within the scope of their handicap.
A twist in the story compels Raghav to take a harsh decision, not because of lack of faith in Najma’s intentions, but because he loves her enough. Love doesn’t mean to possess, it needs to be set free.
A heart-warming story of love and sacrifice, through the eyes of blindness.
