The Cast and Crew of ‘7 Days’ on Reliving Quarantine as a Romantic Comedy
04.04.2022 - 22:57 / variety.com
Wilson Chapman editorThe COVID-19 pandemic spawned its own genre of sorts: the quarantine film, which examines the bizarre, disorienting early days of the crisis as people confined themselves to their homes. In this realm of sometimes heavy movies, one of the lightest and most charming is “7 Days,” which uses this setup for an opposites-attract rom-com.Karan Soni and Geraldine Viswanathan star as Ravi and Rita, two polar opposites who are set up on a pre-arranged date by their traditional Indian families in early March, 2020.
The date goes extremely poorly, but the two are forced to quarantine together for the first few days of the pandemic in Rita’s home, and as they spend more time together, they slowly develop a genuine friendship that shows the potential to blossom into something more. Soni wrote the script for “7 Days” with his real life partner, director Roshan Sethi, during the earliest period of quarantine, when they were living on separate sides of the country.
Frustrated over their long distance relationship, the two wrote the film together in an attempt to capture the loneliness and disconnection of the time. Sethi, a radiation oncology resident at a hospital in Boston, based the script loosely on his own experiences in COVID wards during the first four days of the pandemic.
After finishing the script, they recruited Viswanathan, who stars with Sethi in the TBS anthology comedy series “Miracle Workers,” and shot the film at breakneck speed over the course of only eight days in September 2020. The resulting film is a low-key charmer, one that won Sethi best first film at the 2022 Independent Spirit Awards.With the film currently out on VOD, Variety chatted with Soni, Viswanathan and Sethi about the challenges
