Garbage is a 2018 Indian thriller film directed by Qaushiq Mukherjee and written by Mukherjee and Sanyukta Sharma. The film stars Tanmay Dhanania, Trimala Adhikari, and Satarupa Das in the lead roles. It was the only Indian film to be selected for the Panorama section of the 2018 Berlin International Film Festival.
The film follows the story of Phanishwar, a taxi driver who keeps a mysterious girl named Nanaam in chains in his home. Phanishwar appears to be an eccentric loner who is obsessed with cleanliness and order. Nanaam, on the other hand, is a mysterious character who appears to be mute and communicates only through written notes.
The plot takes a sharp turn when Rami, a medical student who is a victim of revenge porn leaked online by her ex-boyfriend, seeks refuge in Goa. Rami ends up in Phanishwar's home, unaware of the bizarre circumstances that bring her there. As she spends more time with Phanishwar and Nanaam, Rami starts to unravel the truth about their twisted relationship.
Garbage is a haunting and disturbing film that delves into the complexities of human relationships and the dark underbelly of human nature. The film is a commentary on various social issues such as misogyny, patriarchy, sexual violence, and mental illness. It is a masterclass in atmospheric filmmaking that keeps the audience on edge throughout.
