The movie is called Bandra Boy, and it is very short, only 21 minutes long.
The main character is played by an actor named Ahwaan Kumar.

The movie teaches us that people sometimes make up their minds about someone before they know all the facts.
That is like deciding you do not like a food before you have even tasted it.
