Black Bud (2021)

In the pulsating heart of modern India, Sanya, a fiercely independent spirit and a poet at her core, breaks free from the stifling shackles of her orthodox father's home. Yearning for a new life, she stumbles into the complex world of Sultan, a powerful underworld don from Kurla, who becomes increasingly entangled in his obsession for her. Simultaneously, Sanya becomes the muse for Mehmood, an infamous artist shunned by society, and the confidante of a cunning yet charismatic crook. As these three men vie for her attention, they attempt to ensnare her into their webs of emotional, sexual, and financial dominance. Amidst this tumult, Sanya strives to carve out moments of solitude and self-discovery, where she can simply exist without the pressure of others' desires. The collision of these four potent desires sets off a chain reaction of events that unfurl through the eyes of each character and their closest confidants. This gripping narrative culminates in a tragic climax: the demise of the artist, the mysterious disappearance of the don, the arrest of the crook, and Sanya's choice to retreat into a self-imposed hibernation. Yet, the indomitable spirit of this contemporary girl remains untouched, as she prepares to rise once more, ready to chase and fulfill her own desires. "Black Bud" is a riveting exploration of self-discovery, desire, and the enduring spirit of a young woman in a world that tries to claim her.
