One can experience sight, sound, shape and colours, but not the sense of smell. Smell is something that a cinematic experience misses out on.

GANDHA is a feature film, with an ensemble of three independent films, bound together by characters which are going through experiences involving the sense of smell. The stories depict the complexity of relationships and their varied emotional landscapes.
