Kaalidhar, a middle-class man, is the subject of the movie's moving narrative. With memory loss, he's having a difficult time in his life. Additionally, he experiences a strong feeling of abandonment. This feeling comes from a time when he overheard his own family conversing. They chose to leave him at home alone while they made arrangements for a religious event.

Kaalidhar makes a difficult choice because he feels unloved and wounded. He leaves the house on his own accord rather than waiting for someone to leave him alone. This signifies the start of an unexpected adventure for Kaalidhar. He enters an unimaginable world, not knowing what will happen next.

Kaalidhar meets Ballu, a tiny youngster of eight years old, on his journey into the unknown. Ballu and they form an unexpected bond, laying the groundwork for a joint journey. Ballu is an orphan. Together, they learn that everyone should go through life at some point because there is always something more..

What does the trailer for Kaalidhar Laapata depict?

The trailer beautifully balances humor and seriousness, alluding to more profound themes in life like loss, solitude, and redemption. The drama, beneath its alluring plot, gently criticizes the way that families and society sometimes marginalize and ignore the elderly, giving it a layer of social commentary that resonates with viewers.

Kaalidhar and Ballu's meeting develops into an unforgettable trip full of funny moments, unexpected diversions, and a deepening bond between two souls as they learn things they've never experienced before in life.
