Starfish

Plot

Starfish is an Indian Hindi-language romantic drama directed by Akhilesh Jaiswal, starring Khushalii Kumar, Milind Soman, Ehan Bhat, Vidya Malvade, and Tusharr Khanna. The film centers around themes of love, loss, and self-discovery, set against the backdrop of complex human relationships. The story follows the journey of Khushalii Kumar's character, a young woman who is struggling to heal from the emotional scars of a past relationship. She feels trapped by the expectations of society and her inner turmoil, unable to move forward. Milind Soman plays a key role as an older, wiser figure in her life, offering guidance and philosophical perspectives on love and life, akin to the solitary yet resilient nature of a starfish that regenerates itself after injury. Ehan Bhat and Tusharr Khanna play pivotal roles as two men who enter her life, representing different approaches to love and companionship—one, a stable and caring presence, and the other, passionate yet tumultuous. Vidya Malvade’s character adds another layer of complexity as someone who challenges her perspective on life and relationships. As she navigates the ups and downs of love, self-reflection, and the need for emotional healing, the film paints a poignant picture of human resilience. Starfish is a thoughtful exploration of how love, like the sea, can both wound and heal, leaving characters transformed by their experiences.
