Phir Wahi Raat

By Dhruv Behl with 6.9

thriller · Short Films · hindi

The protagonist of 'Phir Wahi Raat' is named after a dual-headed snake, Dvivaktr, suggesting a sense of duality that would come to define the rest of the narrative. As he finds himself at the centre of a strange experience, the story begins to stretch its limbs.

Dvivaktr's dreams bleed into his reality, one more nightmarish than the other. His world comes to be constituted by violent events of murder, rape, bloody injuries, and yet none of it seems real enough to be acknowledged as a lived experience beyond the realm of dreams, albeit disconcerting. In the process, the storytelling, despite a few undercooked components, exhibits definite potential as the final result is presented thus.

At the end of it all, an important piece of information, provided to the viewer like several crucial bits of information throughout the narrative, by way of radio announcers in the background, goes ahead to imply the causes behind the fractured psyche of the protagonist. All of these elements are thus weaved in a notable manner, presenting to you a devoted endeavor in executing the plot and its intentions.
