"The Great Indian School Show" a short film by Avinash Deshpande

Synopsis: The management of a school installs arou

A song of praise(in a tune of popular bollywood hindi song ) for happy birthday to Madam dear



A boy is looking at camera with curiosity. Invisible but all time positioned authority vs. innocence



Most horrifying shot in this film. After watching whole film start to end as with patience (if not much habitual to quick visuals of MTV style or fast editing), this shot generated shiver in to the spine.
