Experiencing Interruptions?

Vendetta

This short film, Vendetta is based on a short story written by the legendary Bengali writer Swaradidnu Bandhopadhyay , with the same name.
This story encircles around a long standing feud between 2 families that originated 100 years back from a petty incident at a wedding party. The families that once used to be close friends fell apart and were forgotten by each other till a good 50 years down the line, when Ol Gobindo & Kunjo Kunjor from their blood lines, incidentally became neighbours. The story takes a comedic stance from the start till the end with pinches of romance cooked in the mix.

Due to prevalent covid norms the film was completely filmed remotely by all individual actors at their respective residences in front of Green Screens with personal equipment's (phone/ handicam, etc) & regular make-up kits and other resources. The shots were stitched together and enhanced through A/V editing. A short summary of 'Behind the scenes' has been added in the end.
