Lucky Red Seeds represent the memories seen through the young eyes of Vicky- one of the millions of Indian children raised outside their country. In the mid 1970s, 10-year-old Vicky arrives in Kerala, India to attend his grandfather’s funeral.

Vicky’s ancestral home is a beautiful cavernous house in a rural Kerala village. The disjointed big family has come together at the otherwise desolate home. The traditional funeral rites of sixteen days, lay the perfect ground to relive all their mutual quirks and past tensions.

Decades later Vicky returns to his ancestral home to tell us about those sixteen days that left indelible impressions on all their lives. His adult reflections are juxtaposed against the childhood visual narrative – bringing to life the magic of childhood and a past era.

BUBBLE GUM is a coming of an age story set in a small industrial town of Jamshedpur in India. It is coming-of-age story not only for Vedant but also his parents who realize how their effort was definitely helping their handicap son integrate well into the mainstream of life but at the same time was isolating their otherwise normal son towards becoming a handicap!

An academician high status, loved and respected by all, admired by many for his great qualities, died suddenly far away from his personal surroundings. He died in the arms of a prostitute incognito.

The shocking revelation, the unbelievable disgrace of the situation and the total absurdity of the fact created a quake of such magnitude in his close circle of family and friends that long nourished relations began to crack and crumble. His old father, wife, son, friends and colleagues faced a meaningless catastrophe with utter disbelief and with astounded inertia began to evaluate their long relationship with him with hatred and pain.

Love waned, faith evaporated, respect disappeared; on the ugly ruins of values only, a bewildered rage prevailed in search of truth.

The age-old Bengali tradition of “Adda” – where friends gather to exchange stories & gossip over drinks & dinner. In one such meeting, five friends discuss the incident of a honeymoon and a missing husband. “One story, Multiple endings" – what actually happened?

Bioscope, the film, depicts the inner meaning of moving images. It is a story about Diwakaran, and what became his very close friend, the ‘bioscope’. Traveling through villages, he erected tents and screened early films strips using a projector, known at the time as ‘bioscope’.

How did Diwakaran’s inner self start burning like a furnace? How were these early moving images received in the interior villages at the dawn of the 20th century, before the first film was made in Kerala?

Bioscope takes us to that realm where history, dreams and memories come together.
