Garbage narrates the story of Phanishwar (played by Tanmay Dhanania) who is an obsessive online troll along with being a taxi driver in Goa. His encounter with Rami (played by Trimala Adhikari) propels the plot forward. Rami, a victim of revenge porn gradually becomes the subject of Phanishwar’s unhealthy obsession. The plot turns into a dark thriller when Rami takes Phanishwar hostage only to discover secrets about an unknown, mysterious woman, Nanaam (played by Satarupa Das), who he has captured and kept back home. Co-produced under the banners of Q’s Oddjoint, and Shaailesh R Singh and Hansal Mehta’s Karma Entertainment & Media, Garbage is set to stream on Netflix later in 2018.
