Amruthangamaya

By Yogesh Kulkarni with 6.5

romance · Short Films · telugu

The film introduces us to the love story of Amruta and Arjuna who together navigate the space of script writing, and filmmaking, while also somehow trying to make ends meet. The struggles are more in Arjuna’s share than Amruta who remains his kind and cheerful colleague throughout.

One day, the two get the green light from their producer to shoot a demo for their film, and they embark on a new adventure. However, things begin to go downhill swiftly from there as our characters realize that the actors they have decided to shoot with are far from what they had assumed at first glance. The film invokes struggle, the difficulty of making a career in a field as competitive as media, the hesitation and nervousness of love, and the possibility of companionship and solace that can be found in one another.

The film mixes all of this with some very violent and dark themes involving matters that are far bigger than the fate of the protagonist and his beloved. The final result, though not without a few rough edges, brings to life endearing chemistry and equally complementary performances in its two lead roles.
