Presented by Adiv Productions Pvt Ltd, “Lavaaste” is the poignant story of Satyansh, a B.Tech graduate, who finds himself immersed in the challenging task of handling unclaimed dead bodies. However, the film goes beyond Satyansh and his family, which goes deep into heart-wrenching stories of deceased persons who, despite having heirs, remain unclaimed. This emotionally charged tale throws light on a tragedy that is often overlooked in our society – the plight of unclaimed dead bodies. “Lavaste” aims to draw attention to this latent suffering and unite audiences in recognizing the urgency of addressing this pressing issue.
During the trailer launch, producer Aditya Verma from Adive Productions and co-producer Rohandeep Singh from Jumping Tomatoes expressed their unwavering faith in the film’s potential to make a deep impact.

The film confronts the unfortunate reality of people who, after having children, have no one to claim their bodies after their death. The film seeks to shed light on these profound social challenges and encourage meaningful discussions about an often neglected aspect of our community.
The inclusion of Iqbal Mamdani, who has first-hand experience of collecting unclaimed dead bodies in Mumbai, adds an authentic touch to the film, further enriching its plot and enhancing its impact.

The film goes deep into the core of social realities, while providing a fresh perspective on the importance of addressing the issue of unclaimed dead bodies. “LaVaste” seeks to encourage discussions and raise awareness about this serious issue, thereby engaging the audience on multiple levels.
In line with their commitment towards social causes, the makers have announced that 10% of the film’s profits will be donated to a worthy cause related to bodies picking up unclaimed bodies, who are committed to creating a positive impact through cinema. Dedication is an example.
