Production Design

Any fans of this film can’t deny a common affinity for a yellow wall or bird silhouettes. Through the film’s production design of the house, we see Aisha and Sid’s individuality reflected. The film uses a rundown flat in Mumbai and makes it a comfort space with whimsical, DIY style production design.
