Parchhai: Love In Modern Times. The upcoming short story collection.

Video content presents an out of body experience like no other. 

It captivates and makes people erupt in joy or sorrow, among a myriad of emotions that human beings are capable of feeling. The director wants his or her audience to feel a range of emotions, as the viewer tries to understand the plot of the film in question. The best directors are capable of turning our worlds upside down, and this is the reason why fictional characters and plotlines resonate so much in the real world, with fans of a film imagining a story’s plot line resonating in their own daily lives. 

The internet has democratized the media landscape, as viewing choices have exploded in number. From traditional Television networks to internet giants like Google and Amazon embedding themselves into ‘Smart TVs’ to YouTube and subscription OTT platforms like Netflix and Hotstar, we live in an era of virtually infinite video content. Now all we need is to filter the choices around us in order to find the most suitable recommendations for us to watch something (like Netflix’s recommendation algorithm or suggestions from friends and family) 

Today at Bangalore Insider we spoke to Vikash, the director of ‘Parchhai’, an upcoming film release and he helped us with an overview about the storyline of the film in addition to discussing his views about the Indian ecosystem in general. Below are the excerpts from our interaction.     

Tell us in brief, about the storyline of ‘Parchhai’. What is the most interesting part in the story? 

Ans: Parchhai is the story of a girl who is trying to recollect her past thoughts. She is pondering upon those actions which led her to take certain decisions in her life. Those decisions which even after a decade are not just with her like a shadow but also are forcing her to mend her ways. The most interesting part is that the girl has got over with the insanity few months back.
