YEH HAWAYEIN BHI KUCH KEHTI HAI

(Even the Winds Say Something)

One evening. One lake. Two strangers who refuse to let the other disappear.

A quiet, deeply human film about loneliness, companionship, and the invisible ways people hold space for each other.

About the Film

Yeh Hawayein Bhi Kuch Kehti Hai is a restrained and intimate Hindi film that explores emotional invisibility and the silent need for companionship.

Set over the course of a single evening by a city lake, the film follows Amar and Umar, two strangers who arrive separately, each carrying an unspoken burden.

They do not know each other. They do not tell each other why they are there. Yet, as the evening progresses, each begins to recognise something familiar and fragile in the other.

Without explanations or confessions, an unexpected companionship develops. Each quietly begins to ensure that the other is not left alone.

The film avoids dramatic declarations and easy resolutions. Instead, it stays with observation, silence and presence. It is less about what is said and more about what remains unsaid.

At its heart lies a simple human truth:

Sometimes, simply being there can make a difference.

Even The Winds Say Something

The film is based on the book titled, “Even The Winds Say Something,” by Melwyn Williams.

Logline

On a crowded evening by a city lake, two strangers carrying unspoken intentions toward death recognise something familiar in each other and spend the night trying to save the other, never admitting the truth about themselves.

Synopsis

Set over the course of a single evening, Yeh Hawayein Bhi Kuch Kehti Hai follows Amar and Umar, two young men who arrive separately at a lakeside promenade in New Delhi. The space is ordinary, social, and alive with people, yet faintly burdened with unspoken histories.

Both men linger, observe, and repeat their movements around the lake, quietly assessing the environment without speaking to anyone. A public incident involving another suicide attempt disrupts the evening and alters the emotional atmosphere.

Later, circumstance brings Amar and Umar together at a crowded tea stall. Through cautious conversation, shared memories, silences, and walking side by side, each begins to sense the other’s unspoken distress. Neither confesses anything. Instead, each tries, gently and indirectly, to ensure the other is not left alone.

By the end of the night, phone numbers are exchanged, a simple message is sent, and both men leave separately, alive. Not because life has been solved, but because for one evening, it was shared.

This is not a story of rescue through revelation, but of survival through mere presence.

Director’s Note

Yeh Hawayein Bhi Kuch Kehti Hai is a film about two people who never say what they are thinking, and yet gradually understand something fundamental about each other.

This film is not about suicide.
It is about intervention.

Loneliness today often hides in plain sight. It exists within crowds, workplaces, families, friendships and routine conversations. People can appear composed, functional and perfectly ordinary while carrying something that nobody around them sees.

Despair does not always announce itself.

Sometimes it simply waits quietly to be noticed.

Amar and Umar do not heal each other. They do not offer solutions. They do not make promises about tomorrow. Neither becomes the other’s counsellor or saviour.

They simply refuse to leave the other alone.

And in becoming concerned about the person beside them, something changes within each of them as well.

I wanted the film to trust silence.

The camera therefore observes rather than explains. Conversations remain incomplete. Thoughts are not translated for the audience. The environment continues around the characters irrespective of what they are experiencing.

The lake, the crowds, the vendors, footsteps, voices, music and, above all, the wind become part of the emotional landscape.

The audience is able to notice rather than being instructed what to feel.

Nothing is explained. Nothing is declared.
What remains unsaid is the story.

Why This Film Matters

India sees over 1.7 lakh suicide deaths every year. Many of these are linked to loneliness and emotional distress that often go unseen.

Every suicide statistic represents a human life, but statistics alone cannot describe the moments that precede an irreversible decision.

Those moments do not necessarily look dramatic from the outside.

A person may still go to work.

They may answer a telephone call.

They may sit in a public place surrounded by hundreds of people.

They may smile, speak normally or simply remain unnoticed.

Yeh Hawayein Bhi Kuch Kehti Hai does not attempt to explain suicide or reduce emotional distress to a single cause. Nor does it offer a simplistic solution to something extraordinarily complex.

Instead, the film focuses on something smaller and deeply human:

Presence.

The act of noticing another person.

The decision to remain for a little longer.

The instinct not to leave somebody alone.

The film asks no one to become a therapist, counsellor or rescuer.

It simply asks whether, in a world where people are increasingly connected digitally yet often profoundly isolated emotionally, we still notice the person standing beside us.

The Cinematic Approach

This is not a loud film.

Yeh Hawayein Bhi Kuch Kehti Hai is an observational, restrained and intimate cinematic experience.

Its storytelling is built around silence rather than explanation, presence rather than spectacle, and emotional restraint rather than dramatic release.

The camera largely witnesses.

The city and the lakeside remain alive around Amar and Umar. People laugh, eat, walk, talk, sell things, fall in love and go home. The world does not stop because two people within it are hurting.

That contrast lies at the heart of the film.

Sound plays an equally important role. Wind, footsteps, conversations, vendors, traffic, music and the natural sounds of the lakeside create the world around the characters.

The film does not seek to manipulate the audience into a predetermined emotional response.

It allows viewers to watch, listen and arrive at their own understanding.

Current Status

The film is being prepared for:

• Film festival submissions
• Curated screenings

THE FILM IS COMPLETE. THE JOURNEY NOW BEGINS.

Yeh Hawayein Bhi Kuch Kehti Hai has now been completed.

Filming, editing, sound design, colour grading and final mastering are complete, and the finished film is now entering the next stage of its life.

The festival journey has begun.

The film is being submitted to selected film festivals in India and internationally, with the objective of taking this small, independent Indian film to audiences across cultures and countries.

Completing a film, however, does not complete its financial journey.

Festival submission fees, submission platforms, subtitles and technical deliverables, publicity materials, promotion, festival participation, travel where required, screening requirements and audience outreach continue to involve considerable expenditure.

Much of the film has reached this stage through personal commitment, collaboration and the support of a relatively small circle of people who believed in it.

There is still a long journey ahead.

TAKING THE FILM TO FESTIVALS

Our immediate priority is the film festival circuit.

We want Yeh Hawayein Bhi Kuch Kehti Hai to travel to appropriate Indian and international festivals and give the film the opportunity to find audiences beyond the people who made it.

Festival submissions themselves can become a substantial expense for an independent production. Each festival has its own entry fees, deadlines, technical requirements and, in some cases, additional costs associated with participation.

Rather than submitting indiscriminately, we intend to pursue a carefully selected festival journey, balancing major international festivals, respected short-film festivals, Indian festivals and other platforms where the film’s cinematic and human concerns may find meaningful engagement. The Official Trailer is now being released publicly while the complete film remains protected for its festival journey.

BEYOND FESTIVALS: SCREENINGS & CONVERSATIONS

We also believe that the life of this film should eventually extend beyond festivals.

At an appropriate stage in its festival journey, we hope to take Yeh Hawayein Bhi Kuch Kehti Hai to institutions, universities, cultural organisations, professional bodies, community organisations and other suitable audiences through curated screenings.

Where appropriate, a screening may be followed by a moderated conversation involving members of the filmmaking team and invited participants.

The conversation could explore the questions raised by the film: loneliness, companionship, emotional invisibility, human connection and what it means simply to notice when another person may be struggling.

The film should speak first.

The conversation begins afterwards.

Any such screenings will be planned carefully and scheduled in accordance with the premiere and eligibility requirements of festivals to which the film has been submitted. Organisations interested in hosting a future curated screening and conversation are welcome to contact us.

SUPPORT THE FILM’S JOURNEY

The film has been made. Now we need your help to take it further.

Independent cinema does not stop costing money when the final edit is complete.

The next stage requires continuing resources to ensure that the film has a genuine opportunity to travel, compete, be seen and eventually create conversations among audiences.

We therefore invite individuals, friends, well-wishers, organisations and those who believe in independent and humane storytelling to support the continuing journey of Yeh Hawayein Bhi Kuch Kehti Hai.

Your contribution can help support:

Film festival entry and submission fees

Festival-platform and technical charges

Subtitles, captions and international deliverables

DCP and other screening formats where required

Festival publicity and promotional materials

Digital marketing and audience outreach

Festival participation and representation where appropriate

Travel and associated expenses where participation becomes necessary

Future curated screenings and conversations

Every contribution, regardless of size, helps give this independent film another opportunity to be seen.

Your contribution is not simply about funding a film. It is about helping a story about companionship reach the people with whom it may resonate most.

JOIN THE JOURNEY

This film has reached completion because people chose to believe in it.

Some contributed financially.

Some gave their time.

Some contributed their professional skills.

Some simply stood beside the project when that support mattered.

We now invite that circle to grow.

If this film and what it stands for resonate with you, we invite you to become part of its continuing journey.

Support is valued not merely for its size, but for the trust it represents.

Final Note

These rewards are designed to reflect the spirit of the film — presence, acknowledgement, and dialogue, rather than material exchange.

Yeh Hawayein Bhi Kuch Kehti Hai began with a simple thought: two strangers may know almost nothing about each other’s lives and yet, for one evening, their presence can matter.

The film has now been made.

What happens next depends on how far we are able to take it.

To festivals.

To audiences.

To conversations.

And perhaps, eventually, to someone who needed to encounter this story at precisely that moment.

The real wealth is companionship.

Support is valued not for its size, but for the trust it represents.
