If you watch one video today, let it be that of this wonderful rendition of the Justice League soundtrack by Tushar Lall and a team of incredibly talented musicians from The Indian Jam Project. The music video is a heartwarming take on popular culture and how it manages to pervade all sections of the Indian society. However, behind the beauty of music and a bunch of lovely children finding their superheroes within themselves, is a dark and unfortunate reality which this video successfuly manages to address with sophisticated cinematography and a skiled Indo-fusion soundtrack.

Justice League Tribute | Short Film of the Day

Inspired by true events executed by the infamous Zodiac serial killer, the film follows a masterful and slick copycat, terrorising primarily women. The hooded, devious weapon-bearer has a flair for the dramatic- he appreciates being challenged and yearns for his ‘victories’ to be publicized. 

After a string of gruesome murders, the killer has now set out to try new tricks for luring his victims and deceiving the authorities. One night, the police receive a distressed call. A scared, helpless man reaches out to the emergency helpline service, 911, and narrates the ordeal of hiding in the confines of his house, while an intruder attacks his family members. 

 It should be noted that the film's choice of its setting, characters, and a rescue operation that is entirely confined to the US in its portrayal, comes across as being incompatible with the rest of the narrative, especially for a story that is set in a country far from the West, with an Indian cast and crew. However, as for the hapless hostage, will the authorities be able to outsmart the perpetrator and rescue him in time?

As the title suggests, the plot of Pressure wants to talk about the different kinds of forces, familial, societal and domestic, to name a few, that keep one from living their best life. The story uses suggestion to share the same message with the viewer by introducing them to the struggles of its protagonist. Not only does he battle with repressing and denying his sexuality, but also finds himself stuck in a dead-end job until one day when all of these rejected desires find a terrible manifestation.
