The year is 2045 when a battle unfolds between two formidable enemies - Meghnath unit X and an agent of Black Ego, a subversive tech organization that is operating in secret against the government-led Meghnath. As the two forces prepare for an imminent face-off, one that would truly prove devastating for Black Ego, one of their members, Nector, finds himself located at the heart of it all. 

The stakes are swiftly rising, but Nector is in an intoxicant-induced state when the mayday messages begin arriving. As his fate hangs in the balance, alongside Black Ego's jeopardized resources, a very crucial moment occurs, one that would keep the viewer involved in the developing events till the end. 
The film’s true triumph is its world-building by way of special effects, and carefully crafted visuals. Combined with a fitting edit and musical choices, the end result is presented with much gusto and fervor.

Go-chi | Short Film Nominee

A seemingly friendly and approachable doctor takes care of the digestive problems of a patient. Through their casual exchange, also invoking humor at the expense of the latter, the world of a small village is established for the viewer. Events unfold gradually to further introduce us to the protagonist's love interest, Bela. As he daydreams about her, cooking up detailed reveries, the Bela the viewer is introduced to is far from the love-struck girl of the doctor's dreams. In the process, allowing itself to be a Hindi adaptation of a short story by O Henry, the short film conjures an engrossing narrative for the viewer. Over the course of the next few minutes, the film comes into its own with a balanced beginning, middle and end, entertaining the audience throughout. However, when it comes to the doctor's love story, will fruition be its fate?

Ishq Ki Dava | Short Film Nominee

The films brings to life a very raw, visceral sensuality on screen that, though is always only spoken of in hushed whispers, is an undeniable part of human existence, for better or worse. It weaves the trajectories of several characters together to share its intentions. The viewer has to patiently watch and pay close attention to the overlaps so that all of them are able to form a cohesive whole. Amidst this world of sexual hungers, is also an existence marked by the efforts of struggling actors, of lovers' quarrels, homosexual undercurrents and sexual harassment allegations. The bottomline that the film draws is that each character has their own bit to chew, their own hurdles to overcome, albeit of vastly different nature. Consequently, as they move from one occurrence to another, a chaos of heightened energy ensues that can only conclude in a manner that is deeply shocking for both the characters and the audience.
