‘Kho Gaye Hum Kahan’: 4 Significant Social Causes Highlighted In Adarsh Gourav-Ananya Panday-Siddhant Chaturvedi’s Film

‘Kho Gaye Hum Kahan’, directed by Arjun Varain Singh, centres on the internet era and tackles significant themes including urban loneliness, body shaming, cyberbullying, and insecurity. Let’s have a look at the four?major causes highlighted in the film:

Urban Loneliness

‘Kho Gaye Hum Kahan’ tackles the issue of urban loneliness. It might be a thing that people from small towns might not be able to even relate to. But it is a thing that affects and hurts young adults, especially in urban cities. With more people staying in urban cities, the time spent with each other has reduced considerably. This has led to people feeling a sense of loneliness. Despite having 20 close friends, a person might not be able to meet them even once a month as they all might be staying in different parts of the city and meeting them regularly is not an option considering the immense travel time between places. Eventually, neighbours and work colleagues are the ones who end up becoming close as they are the ones with whom you are regularly interacting. Soon enough, you start losing touch with your closest friends, who know you inside out, thereby leading to a terrible feeling of loneliness.

Self-Acceptance For Body Shaming

Body shaming is a serious threat in today’s time. In recent years, we have seen many people become victims of these issues, which sometimes lead to depression or suicide. In the age of social media, several people body shame individuals in different ways, which is not a good thing. It takes a big heart to accept the criticism and the comments about body shaming, and the film presents the issues in a very relevant way and also spreads awareness among the masses. In the film, Adarsh Gourav was seen facing body shaming due to the competition in his gym.

Cyberbullying

Cyberbullying is another serious threat to society, and Kho Gaye Hum Kahan addresses the issue in a very clear and descriptive manner. The matter needs to be told in modern times, and the youth-appealing film conveyed it to the masses very relevantly. There are several ways of cyberbullying, and many of them have been victims of this. While many express this, and many do not have the courage to share this harassment with their close ones. Adarsh Gourav’s character in the film was seen taking strict action against such crime.

Insecurity Among Youngsters

Insecurity and competency are found in every sector in today’s time, especially among youth. Every second youngster is the victim of insecurity, which even does not lead to healthy competition. The result of insecurity is dangerous and can have a hazardous effect on one’s life. In the order of insecurity, a person sometimes takes destructive steps, which even lead to death and the episode of this issue is one of the biggest highlights in the film. In the film, Ananya Panday also went through major insecurities due to her relationship issue because of which she also exposed herself on social media.
