Show Must Go On

By Brahadeeshwar C Chandilya with 6.4

drama · Short Films · english

A celebrity is about to surprise his girlfriend on her birthday on an Instagram live when, much to his shock and dismay, he finds her in an intimate situation with another man. While what happens behind closed doors is a private matter, even if it has accidentally ended up on a live broadcast, what follows next becomes a comment on the journalistic integrity of Indian media.

After some time passes from this development, an overzealous journalist ends up tailing the woman, also a famous person, to her boyfriend's house. As he makes incendiary accusations, yelling at the woman after ambushing her outside the house, only to eventually barge in, accompanied by his cameraperson and constant yelling, the narrative makes its comment on the primetime Indian news presenters evident for the viewer. Made within fifty hours, the film exhibits potential in storytelling and performance, along with the sincerity to share its intentions with you.
