A man and a woman sit across from each other during an ongoing investigation. The man is accused of killing a woman, Nikita, and now the cop before him, Nusrat Khan, demands an explanation for this heinous act. As the conversation unfolds, the narrative presents its ideas on right and wrong, and how greed, lust and anger have the world in their grasp. A sudden reversal of circumstance is also presented in this endeavor which, even if marked by a few rough edges in terms of production, remains notable in the effort it invests in exploring its ideas.

Rakshash - The Birth of Demon | Short Film Nominee

It’s fifteen minutes to 31st October, a Halloween chill perhaps already making itself known, when two employees pull a late night shift at their workplace. 

As the night progresses some strange developments, that begin primarily with phone calls, await them. Each of the three characters that we are interacting with, Ajith, Renuka and Rakesh, gets a deeply disturbing phone call, all suggesting horrifying, supernatural occurrences. The plot continues to develop, and yet there are no overlaps to be found between the three characters, each of whom is now indeed headed towards the same fate. 

The various elements of the film take their time coming into their own, attempting to portray the many horrors that rest within the surface. Though few rough edges in the department of sound persist, the narrative strives to weave and share its story with the viewer.
