The film is an adaptation of the Linklater’s original play named ‘Tape’. Directed by Sudharshan Narayan, the film is a part of the New York Indian Film Festival this year.
Hey! I'm trying to seek more opinions, views and engagement on a friend's original short film
Link is given above!
Why posting it here?
Cuz the story/script has been written by the same guy who has also acted, directed, edited and everything in between- in this short film! (one man army lol)
Background- This guy is a proper cinephile (a close friend of mine), grew up watching movies alone in the theatres, saving money to buy tickets, sneaking and bunking classes to watch his favourite films. He taught himself everything about cinematography and filmmaking from scratch- in short a very passionate and hardworking individual.
- he has worked previously in various metropolitan cities, now trying to make something of his own!
Motive to post it here-
I'm not just seeking engagement on his channel, but also genuine reviews and comments, criticism and constructive criticism alike.
Feel free to drop your opinion!
comment in case you want to connect with him on instagram.
This might be a bit random, but I’ve been feeling this for a while.
There are so many filmmakers in Bangalore online… but almost no real offline space where people actually meet and talk about making films.
Most “networking” events feel very surface level quick intros, what they did, exchange numbers and that’s it. Nothing really meaningful.
So I’m starting a small, informal filmmakers meet in Whitefield.
The idea is simple: Just show up, talk about what you're working on, what you're stuck on, ideas you’ve been sitting on… basically real conversations, not pitching or flexing.
If you're someone who’s genuinely trying to make films (short films, YouTube, indie, anything), you’re welcome.
No agenda, no speakers, no entry barrier.

Let’s see if this turns into something real.

So I was just doing my usual thing searching for old Hindi TV shows on YouTube. Nothing specific. Just that kind of night where you want something familiar in the background.
And then YouTube did something actually useful for once.
Recommended a teaser. New upcoming show. No face. No big reveal. Just a studio setup, a vibe, and a name.
Shekhar Suman. Coming back.
I just sat there for a second not moving.
Honestly didn't even need to see his face. Just the name was enough to completely stop me.
Because I went from searching for old memories to accidentally finding out they might be coming back. That hit differently than I expected.
Grew up on Movers & Shakers and Dekh Bhai Dekh. Our whole family would sit together for that. Dad laughing that specific laugh. Mom actually paying attention. Nobody leaving the room.
That era of TV just felt like an event. And this guy was a massive part of why.
Spent the next hour going down a rabbit hole of old clips instead of sleeping. The timing. The expressions. The wit. Still holds up better than most things being made today honestly.
Didn't expect a random YouTube recommendation on a quiet night to make me this emotional about a TV host.
