Director's Statement
Nisabdham was born from an image that was caught in his mind a few years back. The film got 'flesh and blood' from real characters around his living place. Life is full of drama with unpredicted and unexpected climaxes. Whatever may the end of the climax, life has to move on from day one to day two .
