You have to be careful to not call Sudhanshu Saria's Knock Knock Knock a short film. By virtue of its narrative, the film sprawls over a good 40 minutes, tying up into a gratifying climax. What makes it a unique watch really isn't its runtime but the filmmaker's ability to tell a poignant story in an unhurried fashion despite the time constraint at hand. Two men separated by generations are united by their idiosyncrasies and through their conversation, Saria explores a gamut of ideas starting with loneliness and ostracisation.
