Truth is the image in the mirror. It bends and stretches as much as the object before it does. The mirror never lies, it merely reflects the truth. “Aainaate” reflects the true nature of our contemporary society through the story of two women. Malini is a photojournalist who is fascinated by dead faces and specializes in clicking dead bodies. She finds the dead lively and communicative, while living people appear dead to her through the lens. Urmila Sanyal is a middle-aged, high profile socialite, working for the upliftment of downtrodden women. Malini meets Urmila on a shooting assignment. The two strike a chord. As they interact various hidden aspects of Urmila’s life unfold. Given to reasoning and justice, Malini too goes through differences of opinion with her family and fiancé. The hidden face of every individual is uncovered in Malini’s mirror.
