Jai, a young athlete, has his trials in a week. His father is adamant about making his son’s performance as competitive and skilled as the trials demand. Amidst it all, Jai is also coping with the trauma and grief of a very recent loss, the passing of his mother.
As the narrative endeavors to engage with the many complexities that the situation presents, 'Subah' (Awakening) comes into its own. It explores a precarious father-son equation, alongside Jai’s inability to comprehend not only the tragedy but also his younger brother, Ankur, and his father’s reaction to it all.
Both the screenplay and the writing evidence immense potential in bringing the said reality to life, offering an honest, long glimpse at familial dynamics. Though the voice and tonality are a little young in their current approach, the film exhibits the promise of deeply intimate and mature storytelling in hopefully the very near future. Nevertheless, Jai’s tribulations are given a worthy portrayal, leading to shocking revelations, not only for him but for the audience as well which is kept deeply invested in his fate right till the very end.
