A Night with the Stranger

She thought it was just a shortcut. He seemed like just another stranger. But when the city lights fade and the jungle begins, nothing feels ordinary anymore. Nitya, a 23-year-old dreamer with a sketchbook and a stubborn heart, arrives in Indore chasing the opportunity of a lifetime. But with no taxis, no autos, and time slipping away, she chooses a shortcut to JSM Animation Studios—a path that leads her straight into the unknown. Enter Ayaan—witty, sarcastic, and hiding more than he shows. Forced to walk side by side through silent roads and dense forests, two strangers begin a journey that tests their fears, sparks curiosity, and reveals pieces of themselves they never intended to share. Set over one unforgettable night, A Night with the Stranger is a story of quiet glances, sharp words, and the slow unraveling of secrets. In a world where the path is unclear and nothing goes as planned, sometimes the real destination is the person walking beside you.
