Mumbai’s March heat is brutal.🫠 Good thing our films are short. 🩳 Spend your Saturday afternoon with stories that linger. Join us 14th March at 4 PM at Filmfool for Weekend Shorts — an evening of short film screenings followed by a panel discussion with the makers. Featuring: Thursday Special by Varun Tandon — a gentle reflection on love, companionship, and change. Bobby Beauty Parlor by Shashwat Dwivedi — a coming-of-age story about friendship and the bittersweet moment of growing up. Biryani Hitman by Rajat Varma — a darkly comic ride where a contract killer finds himself in unexpectedly emotional territory. Three films. Three distinct worlds. One warm Mumbai evening of cinema and conversation. Comment “Filmfool” to register. 🎬 Limited seats book now!! [filmscreening, films Mumbai, actors, filmmakers, indie filmmakers] #filmsmumbai
