Reality Bites

Every form of art needs experimentations, explorations and inovations to keep on breathing. Deadlines 24x7 is a test tube in which a new blen is preapred. If film can be taken as the art of mixing sounds and visuals, thisn film is a combination of them for sure.

This film unflods the story of an ambitious teenage girl the rise and fall of an aspiring talent. Through a series of shots thins film relates to the viewer how varsha a girl from an ordinary background reaches the glitzy world of modelling, radio jockeying and tv and film acting through a reality show. Soon the media takes her up and she suddenly sees herself in the limelight.

After making her popular the media now pesters her everywhere. She and anything related to her are closely followed by the prying eye of the media. A very simple issue related to her brother is taken up by the news channels and makes her life a hell. Even after her suicide the media relents to leave, now after her sister.

The most striking feature of this film is the juxtapostion of totally dissociating sound tracks with the visuals. It creates a sort of ironic tension in form as well as content.
