This film sheds light on the fascinating and often neglected topic of the Hijra community in India, which has been a part of the subcontinent for over 4,000 years. Despite being revered and celebrated in religious and spiritual ceremonies, this community continues to face abuse, discrimination, and violence. Our film seeks to explore the dimension of evil that resides within our minds and how it reflects onto the perceptions of the Hijra community. For us, this film is very special, as it is a product of our personal experiences and the desire to showcase the struggle and bliss of the third gender. We aim to tell a story that is engaging, sensitive, and respectful. Our team is excited to bring this project to life, and we hope that it will contribute to a greater understanding and appreciation of the Hijra community.

"Narakasur" is a short film in which we've endeavoured to utilize the art of masks to narrate the story of King Narakasur in a theatrical form. Mrinal, a dedicated science teacher in a government school, employs a unique blend of evolutionary theory and the mythology of Vishnu's avatars to engage his students. However, his nights turn bizarre as he becomes entangled in a recurring cycle, transforming into a feral being. Through this surreal journey, we explore the delicate boundary between evolved humanity and primal instincts in contemporary society along with a portrayal of what reverse evolution might entail.

"TEZOR TUKURA" is a short fantasy horror film revolving around a tale of a wicked old lady and her succeeding generations that takes you to an uncanny world of occultism. The film is an effort to bring back the forgotten culture of " putola naach" of Assam as puppetry is used to make this film. The Covid pandemic had obstructed our lives in unimaginable ways but it gave us the time to revisit our roots, NAZNEEN7 Productions' presentation and CHINMOY BARMA’s directorial "Tezor Tukura" is the result of the same. Another strong element of our short film is the "menstrual cycle".
