The Outbreak

By Dasari Bindu Bharadwaj with 6.8

thriller · Short Films · hindi

‘The Outbreak’ is defined by an unmissable sleekness, and an equally complementary background score to go with it all. It is located in a world that has battled a lockdown for a year, up to a point where people have run out of food. They have now resorted to cannibalism and hunting each other down.

As the announcer on the radio acquaints us with this world, the protagonist’s pursuit of securing his survival continues. The film is further embellished with a competent edit that keeps the action rolling in a high-paced manner. Whether escape is available for the humans trapped in the world of ‘The Outbreak’ is anyone’s guess, but as for the film, it surely remains an entertaining, consistent watch throughout.
