Rohit, a struggling freelance graphic designer, sublets a cramped 1BHK in Andheri East. His crime? Being two months late on rent. His punishment? His seemingly polite, middle-aged landlord, Mr. Sharma, begins a campaign of “friendly reminders” that escalate into psychological warfare—late-night visits, rearranged belongings, and a chilling passive-aggression that feels painfully real. The twist comes when Rohit discovers he isn’t the first tenant to break under this pressure.
