Hosted
on YouTube, Kriti is an underrated psychological thriller
directed by Shirish Kunder, hubby to the well known Indian filmmaker Farah
Khan. It was produced by Muvizz.com and the short film released on 22 June
2016.
Time
and again, throughout the short film spanning around 19 minutes, we find shocking
waves that send ripples down our spine. The chill of psychological horror is
way beyond the horror that we are normally used to digesting. I think the filmmakers
should have blessed us with a statutory warning before the start of the film. The
audience is sure to go on a terrible roller coaster ride of a lifetime with Kriti.
I
would like to recommend all to keep their minds broad and open while interpreting
this short, and their hearts strong, while watching this short. One is
vulnerable to a lot of dangers, especially for the elderlies, and the heart
patients, watching Kriti seem no
less than a dare, that needs to be taken up or played at one’s own risk.
We
all are vulnerable to a lot of threats and dangers while watching this short
which includes Radhika Apte, Manoj Bajpayee, Neha Sharma, and Manu Rishi in
lead roles. Terrific and outstanding would be much less if we have to truly
define, something of this class that we watch in Kriti. As the concept is mind-blowing,
so is the acting, the direction, the editing, the light and sound, the music,
the background score and so on and so forth. The overall performance is something
to marvel at.
Kriti would leave you
speechless, in between as well as in the end. It is a thoughtful execution by
the filmmaker Shirish Kunder. This well thought of film deserves much more
than it has garnered. Believe me, the usual gothic fiction stands at nothing
compared to this psychological fiction in audio-visual art. Goosebumps is trivial;
expect something more to happen to you. Kriti is a masterpiece.
In
these tough times, that the world witnesses today, there is a lot of space for psychological
horror to enter in our lives. In this frenzied situation of the globe, if you
want to stay away from depression, the best way is to face the brute that
causes so. Watch Kriti, for yourself and no one else. You won't repent. And, you
dare not forget. If by chance you do forget, remember everything is spread
across the narrative of this film, something you could comprehend, and some
things are bound to bounce over your head. This is the scenario of the world
for ages. Each age has a villain, so it does have to have a hero to counterbalance
the existence of the villain.
Whatever
we see around ourselves exists in binaries. Isn’t it so? Even within ourselves,
we find dual voices, one, of the good angel, and the other of the devil.
Whatever our mind projects, need not to always be, what we have to believe and
vice versa, applies as well.
The entire game of life is a paradox, an irony. Some of who do understand the same
sail through happily and in full contentment and rest remain the same fish out
of the water and die not a very easy death.
Make yourself familiar with Kriti. The link is provided below:

I
too have made a short in the circumstances we all are familiar with. The link
to my short film is given below. I hope, all of you enjoy the same, as much as
you do Kriti by the Indian filmmaker Shirish Kunder. I may not match up to his
class, due to the lockdown, but I have given my best to bring out what I feel, at the
moment….
Do,
give thumbs up if you like, please do share with others and bless them with
an opportunity to witness something that is unwitnessed.
