Obsession is defintiely the endeavour of a talented filmmaker with great potential for storytelling. The visuals are innovative and intelligent, though marked by a weak camera. <br><br> The film is a narrative of one of the innumerable young people who come to Mumbai, hoping to make it big in tinsel town. However, it points out, that while encouraging them to harbour these dreams, few only mention the pitfalls of aiming too high; full points to Aman Gupta for portraying the agony and despair of the protagonist convincingly. The film would have worked better with some polishing and refinement, but that does not make it any less of a noteworthy attempt.

Obsession | Short Film Nominee

A woman runs a roadside motel with the help of her trusty staff. However, one night things take a turn for the worse with an unexpected guest. A man arrives and sets her on edge when she realizes he is the same person who was responsible for extreme cruelty meted out to her family several years ago, one that eventually led to her father’s death by suicide. <br><br> In the process, the narrative endeavors to present comments on the nature of hatred, revenge, as well as good and evil, and the many ways they function in society. While the end result shows a slight want in overall smoothness in terms of the progression of events, the storytelling remains interesting and peppered with unexpected moments of humor.
