Synopsis

Raj an aggressivesub-broker in a prosperous broking firm and Abha a marketing professional are acouple in their early-thirties. They move into a new 2-bedroom flat in a Mumbaisuburb expecting peace and quiet. Life is sweet as their promising careers nowseem to be nicely complemented by domestic stability.

Cracks start appearing intheir ideal existence when Raj who is light sleeper is disturbed by noises atnights. They wake him several times in the nights (Abha is undisturbed though).Finally one night, Raj goes down to investigate and discovers that it is thenight watchman blowing the whistle periodically in the night to scare thievesaway. Raj scolds the watchman and forbids him from making any further noise butthe secretary Janardan insists on the whistling continuing in lieu of thebuilding security. Raj tries to garner support from fellow-residents but to noavail.

An issue that starts outlightly and amusingly trivial begins to escalate to take the shape of a seriousproblem for Raj. He begins to slowly go to pieces. Not being able to sleep atnight begins to take a serious toll on him, both professionally and personally.At work, he becomes edgy and his usual smart sense of judgment suffers. At home,he becomes obsessed with any loud noises in the environment. His disgust atbeing unable to solve a seemingly simple problem such as this begins to drivehim crazy. Moreover, to his great irritation, no-one really sympathises with hisproblem �� not Abha, not Dev �� his friend at work, not any of theneighbours. It annoys Raj immensely, because he genuinely believes that thisnightly noise-making is an illogical, uncivilized act (there is also a hint thatit is Raj��s conscience that��s not allowing him to sleep, rather thanthe whistling, but it is deliberately left ambiguous).

��Hulla�� is storyof a simple annoyance affecting a person��s life and bringing aboutdramatic unexpected change that brings the real character and emotions of theRaj and the people surrounding him, to the fore.
