How much pain does it take to create art?
Better yet, what price would you put on pain?
Can'tvas is a satirical window into the cannibalistic, capitalistic nature of the art world. It exposes the disconnection from humanity and the performative empathy used to extract as much "art" as possible—often at the expense of human life. This film showcases that even at your lowest, you are not alone. There is always someone watching - and recording.

Addiction blurs the boundary between the conscious will and the subconscious truth, until the self is lost in the illusions it creates to survive.
Bloodbud is a psychological neo-noir thriller that explores the haunting weight of guilt, systemic control, and the irreversible toll of violence on the human soul. At its core, the film is a surreal meditation on how trauma replicates itself—through memory, through addiction, and through the body.
The narrative unfolds like a looping fever dream, where time does not pass and dreams bleed into reality. Laala, our protagonist, is not just a man haunted by his actions—he is a vessel caught in a moment of time that extracts blood, memory, and even beauty from pain. His nightmares are metaphors; his room, a prison; and the Bloodbud, a symbol of the cost we pay when we keep feeding systems that feed on us.

An informal Pelli Choopulu takes an absurd turn as the groom-to-be throws bouncer after bouncer at an interrogating father and a disinterested daughter.
Our hero, or excuse of one, proves that being too honest, too straightforward, and planning too far ahead isn't necessarily... a good thing. For an overprotective father at least. Watch this father descend into madness as an abnormal groomsman derails the joyous occasion.

Madhu Shalini stars in this (Very) Short Film that begins like a familiar fear — a woman being followed, a man keeping pace — but not everything is as it seems.
In the dark, appearances can be deceiving. And in trying too hard to be the “nice guy,” some men forget to notice the danger that’s already caught up with them. Ladies Second — a haunting look at fear, perception, and the cost of misplaced trust.
