Paswaar | Bangalore International Centre

Paswaar: Longing, Loneliness and the Need for Love is a 39-minute Indian film presented at Bangalore International Centre. Directed by Shayar Gandhi, the film is in Gujarati and Hindi with English subtitles. It explores loneliness, affection and belonging through the story of Dr. Homi, one of the last Zoroastrians in the world, who lives in a vast, quiet mansion and must decide whom to leave his inheritance to.

The story follows Dr. Homi as he spends his birthday waiting for a visit from his estranged nephew, Jamshed. Meanwhile, his young caregiver and cook, Lali, brings warmth into the house as she lovingly prepares a Parsi feast of fish and vermicelli. The narrative unfolds between the kitchen and a door that may never open, presenting a tender portrait of human relationships, loneliness and the need for love.

The screening takes place on Thursday, 12 November 2026, from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM. The event is free and open to all, with RSVP required through the Bangalore International Centre website.
