Uns Mufti

Pakistan - present day, a Stranger in a bandaged mask embarks upon a random killing spree with a gun. After shooting eight people dead, he realizes that nobody seems to care about what he is doing. So he gets onto a TV show with a plan to kill himself live on air. A Filmmaker emerges from this dream, with no mask, gun or dead people. Just a camera in his hand. Then his real troubles begin. Persecuted, paranoid and on the run, the filmmaker becomes confused whether he is still trapped in his dream, or whether Pakistan itself might have lost grip on reality.

‘Chotay Shah’ is Sabiha Sumar’s short film for the ‘Zeal For Unity‘ project. ‘Zeal for Unity’ is Zee Entertainment’s unique peace initiative aimed at bringing together nations in conflict through their creative thought leaders. Twelve filmmakers from India and Pakistan have been brought together to showcase their films on a single platform.
