'Supari' endeavors to be a fun, entertaining ride that does not take itself too seriously. It is the story of Raghu, an assassin who kills people for money. Raghu is not only deeply devoted to his mother, but is also preparing for his marriage with his girlfriend, Richa. The latter is seemingly quite tired of her lover's devotion to his parent, but now things are about to take a positive turn for them as Raghu is planning to introduce her to his mother, before carrying out one final job. In the process of finishing the said job, events unravel in quick succession, completely altering the course of the narrative. The tone of frivolity is maintained throughout, as the fates of the characters go for a complete spin. When it is all said and done, who will be the last one standing?

Supari | Short Film Nominee

The series attempts to rope in humor, drama, and an educational message as it presents to you a glimpse into our pandemic-stricken reality. It primarily takes us into the misadventures of two couples over a span of three parts, and portrays the said reality vis-a-vis their experiences. 

While Sunil has already been infected by the Covid-19 virus, Nainesh finds himself consumed by the paranoia of contracting it. Their wives, Diya and Sureeli, continue their daily conversations over phone calls, all along dealing with their respective households. The series engages with all of these characters, and at the end of it all, leaves the viewer with an important message about striking a balance between carefulness and keeping irrational fear at bay. The entirety of the plot of the series thus becomes a forward progression towards the same.

Ek Selfie is a short film about a graceful Bharatanatyam dancer and homemaker, Seema, and her struggle with grief and depression. Dissatisfied and belittled in an abusive marriage, she falls in love with Vinod, a fellow admirer of classical art forms. However, their relationship comes to a hurtful end with Vinod’s departure. 
Seema slips into depression soon after and is unable to cope even with the help of medication and recommended activities. One night, she dreams of her end and realizes that she needs to move on and try to live happily. The film brings hope to its audience, suggesting they smile in the face of hardships. However, approaching the subject of abuse could have benefited from a more nuanced and coherent method.
