Synopsis:
Omelette – A Story of Betrayal, Revenge & the Resilience of a Woman
Inspired by Bhisham Ji’s Saag Meat and real life events.

When Shehnaz, a devoted middle-aged housewife, uncovers the painful truth about her late husband's secret life, her world shatters. But instead of breaking, she transforms. Omelette is a powerful short film that explores betrayal, emotional trauma, and the raw strength of a woman scorned.

Fueled by heartbreak and driven by a quiet rage, Shehnaz carefully plans a revenge that challenges everything she was taught to accept. This isn’t just a tale of vengeance – it’s a haunting journey through grief, inner conflict, and moral ambiguity.

Set against the backdrop of societal pressure and emotional isolation, Omelette dares to ask: What happens when the sweetest souls are pushed too far? Are we all capable of going rogue?

✨ A gripping drama for fans of psychological thrillers, women-centric stories, and emotional cinema.

🎬 Watch Omelette – where betrayal cracks the surface, and something raw begins to cook beneath.
