Equal (2026)

In the quiet hush of a curfew-bound morning, a family of three navigates the delicate dance of ambition and obligation. Arasi, a rising star in the world of Carnatic music, readies her voice for a stage she’s been aching to reclaim. Her husband, Azhaghu, a freelance coder with a laptop full of hope, zeros in on a career-defining interview. And their little girl, Bhoomi, all of six years old, braces for the pixelated spotlight of her online school assembly. When the pressure mounts, a single phone call to grandparents Thillai and Mohana becomes their anchor. What unfolds is not just a day in their life, but a quiet, poetic reckoning—a mirror held up to a household that believes its roles are fixed, only to discover that the truest form of equality is the one they never saw coming.
