What did Smita Nooreen Khan say about her film?

Break or Make is more than a film—it’s an emotional and psychological journey that explores the transformative power of the human mind. In a world overwhelmed by anxiety, overthinking, and self-doubt, the story delves into how internal struggles can either break us or become the very force that shapes us.

The psychological thriller follows Riya, a 40-year-old woman battling negative thoughts and a loss of direction. Inspired by a message from her successful friend Simmi, Riya realizes the need for change. However, her inner critic continues to dominate her thoughts. In a vivid dream, she finds herself trapped in a building during an earthquake left alone and terrified. This symbolic experience marks a turning point as Riya confronts the harsh truth: her mind has been her greatest prison. Upon waking, she embraces a new mind-set, determined to reclaim control over her life.

Break or Make is a powerful reflection on the dual nature of the mind—capable of both destruction and healing. Through Riya’s journey, the film invites viewers to face their own internal battles and realize that transformation begins from within.
