Two strangers share problems and philosophies over the course of an Uber Pool ride in Sumi Mathai’s Mumbai-set short film Detour. Nimisha (Sayani Gupta), gets into the cab late on a Friday night after a stressful day at work. When her co-passenger Aarav (Vikrant Massey) overhears her talking on the phone about her long day, the two of them strike up a conversation – first about the music they each like and then about their lives.
Detour can be streamed on the YouTube channel of Pocket Films.
