horror · Short Films · hindi

A tattoo artist is closing his studio at the end of the day when he is visited by an unexpected patron. She has arrived with a very pressing demand. Vikram is late for his birthday dinner, all his friends have already reached the venue, and yet, he decides to help out the young woman with the quick task. As the two engage in a conversation, a horrifying story develops, one that presents an overlap between the most terrifying experience of the girl at a conversion therapy facility, and another sinister occurrence awaiting Vikram.

The film becomes an earnest effort in storytelling that utilizes a limited physical space to portray its reality. The narrative simply offers a moment in time without the cause-and-effect relationship of its many events. Hence, if '12.12' is developed into a longer project with all of these details, it would enrich the story further.
