Mausam

Darjeeling is a hill town in the foothills of the Himalayas, known for its tea gardens and foggy mornings that frame the early romance between Amarnath and Chanda.

Calcutta, a bustling urban center, represents the life Amarnath rebuilds and his eventual return to a different world, highlighting the contrast between two very different landscapes in the same story.
