An intimate, creative and very immensely visual documentary where couple of stories weave into one narrative during in one night.
Some troubled by loneliness, call an emergency number 112, others call the radio broadcast on the end of the world predicted by the Mayan calendar.
We hear the radio in the ambulance, and in a city’s monitoring centre, where we observe the
night life of the city presented on dozens of screens.
The film was qualified for OSCARS 2017 in the best documentary short film category.
Two blundering terrorists with lofty ideologies, but ordinary talent, on a mission to change the world.
A bollywood action comedy satire film directed by Karan Anshuman and produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani starring Riteish Deshmukh, Pulkit Samrat, and Jacqueline Fernandez.
