SYNOPSISEra (Swastika Mukherjee) is an eccentric, pseudo astrologer and an Instagram influencer. She is found dead in her flat at a high-rise building. Suspects are ERA’s husband RAHUL, House-help CHOTU, and the nosy neighbour MRS. BASANTI. Two newly-joined, incompetent young police constables BALRAM and ZUBEIDA are compelled to investigate Era’s murder. A perfect, simple set-up for a WHODUNNIT murder mystery… Except that this film takes place in a world far from our own. DDFD is an abstract, surreal, and comical presentation of the WHODUNNIT murder mystery. In this world, a goat gets hit on the head and turns into a stuffed toy. A man has the powers of telekinesis. A dead victim comes back to life and watches the police investigate her own murder. Police have the ability to literally be a part of the stories narrated by the suspects. A giant Eclipse happens right outside the window. A man from another planet is watching the murder mystery unfold.
DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT‘DEAD DEAD FULL DEAD’ is a culmination of my dedication, passion, and commitment to bringing a unique narrative to the screen. I have tried to stay away from conventional screenplay writing rules and write free flowing, wild, absurd drama. DDFD happens in a kind of a surreal world which allows characters and the story to develop in a very unconventional way. I deliberately chose to experiment with my first feature film and tried to offer a fresh+unique storytelling. Hope you enjoy this film.
