There is a wisecrack ready and waiting to be made by any (re)viewer who does not like this film: “Ankahi Kahaniya translates to Untold Stories and perhaps they should have remained that way – ankahi and ansuni (untold and unheard).” You will not read that line from me though. Figure out for yourself if it fits.
Ankahi Kahaniya is a compilation of three films, with a running time between 30 and 40 minutes each, bound by a thread of urban angst. The first directed by Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari (Nil Battey Sannata, Panga) is the story of a youth from rural Madhya Pradesh who is a salesperson in a Mumbai garments store where he develops a relationship with a pretty mannequin. The next, helmed by Abhishek Chaubey (Dedh Ishqiya, Sonchiriya), is about an attraction that develops between an impoverished staffer at a movie theatre and a regular member of the audience. Saket Chaudhary (Pyaar Ke Side Effects, Hindi Medium) holds the reins of the last chapter about two people who discover that their respective spouses are having an affair with each other.
