Saudagar | Short Film | A Qissa Production

Описание: The short film SAUDAGAR was produced — including the writing, shooting, and editing — over a strict 50-hour period. This was done for the "Ray-S" filmmaking competition, organized by 35MM and held at the Vivekanand Institute of Professional Studies (VIPS) from April 25 to 28, 2025.
The assigned challenge theme for the event was "Sauda-Ghar."

In the tiny and marginalised slums of Dallupura, things happen swiftly. For survival, everything happens. Ties are made, Bonds are broken, Lives remain at cost. All it requires is skill. The skill to decieve. The skill to make a deal(सौदा) with the members of the world that they are not a part of. That they desire to be part of. In this game of lies and deception, who will come out on top? What happens when two contrasting worlds see off each other's naked realities Who will strike the bigger deal? That remains to be seen..
