But it’s the young actors, Varun Roopani (Vikram, the senior), and Aryan Singh Ahlawat (TK, the other senior), who steal the show. The cast is enviable: Amir Bashir (schoolmaster Sam), Nimrat Kaur (school counsellor Nandita), Sonali Kulkarni (Vikram’s mother), Geetika Vidya Ohlyan (Shakti’s mother), Jitendra Joshi (Shakti’s estranged father). It is the ugliness that will rise from the steaming pile of lies. And when the sun comes out, you know that it’s going to throw light on the grit and the grime. It’s a dark, rainy, misty Dalton Town boarding school called RISE. But as a worried mother attempts to ask questions, the secrets that everyone in the school wants to hide stumble out. The schoolmaster, the senior boys, the runaway’s best friend, the counsellor, the parents lie and lie again to protect their own little secrets. ‘Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what’s the point -’Ī 12-year-old runs away from boarding school, and the school hide the fact. As if there’s some… Some rightness in the universe by which it may be judged. And yet - (Death waved a hand) - and yet you act as if there is some ideal order in the world. ‘You think so? Then take the universe and grind it down to the finest powder and sieve it through the finest sieve and then show me one atom of justice, one molecule of mercy. ‘Yes, as practice, you have to start out learning to believe the little lies.’
