The Scene (2026)

Dry state. High suspicion.

In Ahmedabad, a city where alcohol exists more as rumor than reality, two hostel students step out on a lazy afternoon to eat biryani, wander through the city, and maybe score a drink before the day ends. But somewhere between a punctured cycle, a pickup truck ride, and a maze-like apartment society filled with cameras and watchful eyes, the outing slowly drifts into something uneasy. Blending satire with paranoia, The Scene (कार्यक्रम) explores surveillance, suspicion and identity.
