Lockdown Chya Polya is a slice-of-life story presented in mumblecore genre, of an empty-nester couple stranded in different cities due to the sudden lockdown in India. Still in their late 40s, their children have left for education abroad. The story starts when the husband, inexperienced in cooking, is faced with simple challenge of making chapatis. He requests his wife to guide him, on a video call. On the other hand, the wife is disturbed by a rude mail from her elder son and wants to share her disappointment. On this backdrop, there is also an undercurrent of their recent argument over her contribution towards their household and his seemingly apathetic attitude over her sacrifices and contributions.
