The Shriek of Silence is an effort in bringing to life various issues and emotions by portraying for us the character of a young man who has been recruited by a militant outfit to carry out their violent schemes. 
 In the process, the story presents to the viewer frustrations, misguided anger and the manner in which poverty is exploited by kingpins and leaders who are motivated by their own vested interests. With little regard for the effects they have on a community or on what the youths who carry their bidding leave behind, they continue to simply lure people in with the promise of money, one that is desperately needed by the said youth. 
 The narrative endeavors to rope in all of these concerns while also revealing the brutality and the destructive nature of the paths taken by these men, without humanizing or justifying them or their actions. It could have indeed gained from a better control on its sound, but, having said that, the final result leaves the door open for more such explorations by the young team.

The Shriek of Silence | Short Film Nominee

Using an iconic song from one of the most successful Bollywood films (Ae Watan from Raazi), the music video chooses nationalism and patriotism as its core. The same is communicated to the viewer by means of a narrative which is about a character risking his own life to save so many others. Further, the location the film uses is of a hospital where a whole community of people come together to take care of each other. It is against this backdrop that the drama of the plot unfolds.
