thriller · Short Films · hindi

The narrative makes an economical use of dialogues to tell its story. There are two parallel plot lines - one of a storyteller, the other of his characters. The film tries to build tension and suspense using music and a different colour palette for both.

While there is a sincere endeavour to use hand-held shots, the visuals would have benefited with some amount of stability. Additionally, more control over editing and colour correction would have also led to notable results. Overall, the product is an honest effort, albeit minus some fine-tuning.
