takes a bold cinematic route, using reverse-motion sequences to blur the
lines between memory and reality. One of the most compelling frames
shows an obscured figure handing a child something to play with — an

and carrying a storm of unspoken thought. The teaser ends not with

cliffhanger.

the banner of Finchbill Motion Pictures Private Limited (Finchbill
Motion Pictures Pvt. Ltd.). The film is co-directed by Navnita Sen and
Nilaanjan Reeta Datta, with the screenplay crafted by Navnita Sen. The
film’s contemplative depth is elevated by its soul-stirring music score,
composed by Ashu Chakraborty, whose soundscape adds a poetic yet
unsettling rhythm to the narrative.
The short film features a
compelling ensemble led by Ashish Vidyarthi, alongside Rajeshwar and
Ketaki Narayan, whose performances ground the film’s psychological and
emotional core.
Sharing his experience with the film, actor
Rajeshwar said “The moment I read the script of Vishaad, I was drawn to
it. It felt intellectually stimulating. It was an honour working
opposite Ashish Vidyarthi Ji, and a pleasure collaborating with a
supportive co-star like Ketaki, along with a crew that includes mostly
National Award winners.”
His words mirror the artistic ambition
behind Vishaad — a film driven by thought-provoking storytelling and
crafted by celebrated creative minds.
The film is set to premiere globally on the Pocket Films YouTube Channel, on 16th January 2026.
