Review of Fursat

Fursat (2023)
10/10
A well crafted short film shot on iPhone
4 February 2023
Wow this film is produced to showcase the incredible video shooting capabilities of the new iPhone 14 pro, but when I watched this movie, the camera was so seamless that most of the times I forgot the fact that this was shot on a phone. The problem with most influencers nowadays is that they want to make the camera twist and turn in weird angles and do "creative" shots, but the forget the fact that they have to focus on the story as well, and look beyond the camera, there are lots of things which are done off camera, the movie script is written well beyond what meets the viewer's eye in the final film. This is exactly what Bharadwaj focused on as a filmmaker, the musical was so on point, the movie nailed it, in terms of story for a short film, it followed the rules of the world on which it was built upon. Yes they used top end techniques, budget, and production value was not something which can be achieved on a small budget, but this film went on to show us that, excuses such as not having a decent camera is a drawback, the camera is not the limit anymore, it is our creativity and artistic touch which should enable us to push our limits. There are lots of things I want to write, but this film felt so personal to me, the lead character was so much like me, the way he was and the problems was going through is something which I deeply connected with him, maybe that was the reason for me to come and write the first review of this film.

This is exactly what the creators intended for the viewers to experience, not the camera, but the story and the world.

P. S. I don't have the budget to buy an iPhone 14 pro, I'm just a normal middle class, young adult, trying to achieve something in my life. I am not associated with the film crew in any way. So please don't think I am a privileged idiot who is giving you some profound gyaan.
