I briefly presented an article in a short film that I had liked. Link for the movie is qt the bottom. When I first saw an evite requesting to come see a world premiere in Dallas, I was dawdling about the idea of watching this movie. C’mon there are numerous so-called short films on YouTube that could take your cherished time away, and at the end you would just bite your own time. But what prompted me was a voicemail from the director “Sreekanth Samudrala” himself requesting me to watch the movie. What induced me as well was my friend “Sridhar Korsapati” enacting a short role in the film. I would say to myself, being a film critic it is my duty to support such thoughts and actions of inspiring directors, after all someone has to start somewhere along. As the titles begin to scroll, I see thanking well-wishers who brought life to a concept called “IT Happens”. The film begins with Sreekanth Samudrala seen with handsome looks and an American argot on the phone, the other compeers are introduced - Suman and Purush each with their own traits, I could make out these were introductions. The etching of Suman’s character shows as an ambitious yet addled guy. Purush on the other hand is over assiduous. Sreekanth is shown as an indolent guy whose motive is to party big time and pass the buck to his cohorts at work. The characterizations are inborn and would remind you of yourself at work. The confabulations and the struggles that we all face at work in the IT industry is captured in the best possible way and you would almost be lost in the film engrossed. As the film progresses the differences that rise between the friends hold you to breath. Sure it wasn’t made out of the fly, the concept I would guess required numerous hours and dedication. An adherence that was impeccable to prove a director in rising! The film takes turns and twists and shows how friends are united and how they achieve their dreams and come out of their inhibitions. A common element was an articulated script combined with a set of talented artists (mind you they all are IT guys working just like you and I) and a meritorious director who has finesse in all 24 crafts. The music provided by Rajasekhar Suribhotla is no less to an enchantment. The director subtly shows his prowess to chase your dreams as life marches and recommends living life to the fullest. The humor is a special mention that goes laterally and sure would remind you at your work. A package of mastery over photography, editing, music, comic and a well-worked script fulfills your desire of watching a short film of little over an hour. I was exhilarated of watching a classy movie and thanked Sreekanth for showing what a concept was turned into an achievement! - Aditya *My blood talks about me - A+ guy!!!*
