Twenty-three-year-old Shiv lives a comfortable life at home in India as he attends school. Surrounded by family, friends and a beautiful girlfriend, Shiv flippantly weighs his options for the future as he dismisses the luxuries his families standing has given him. When his family makes it clear they have become tired of his attitude, comparing him to his hardworking brother who sends the family money from his job in the United States, Shiv decides to pack a bag and head out on his own.

Mohit Takalkar's debut feature film The Bright Day, fresh from its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, profiles a newly vulnerable young man as he seeks to find what it is he is looking for, while his friends and family deal with the avoidable loss of someone so central in their lives.
