The Untitled Kartik Krishnan Project is considered as one of the first true indie films made in this country. Made on a feeble budget, TUKKP was wholly shot on locations in Mumbai without any permits and at time without knowledge of public moving around. It was shot over weekends for almost an year. Ask any indie filmmaker and one word you will hear – incredible.
TUKKP is story about an average Joe, Kartik, who meets a filmmaker whose claim to fame is his one moment with Tarantino. He wants to make short film with him. However, his efforts are interrupted by two entities – a stalker who claims to be a government officer and an antique toy which can predict future. Apart from this chaotic filmmaking effort, a romantic track goes on in parallel. A metafiction, TUKKP holds the spirit of indie-filmmaking very strongly.
Surprisingly, despite of low budget, the polishing of final product looks very decent. Editing and BGM is impressive. Performances are average. In a small herd, Swara Bhaskar rises. Cameos by D. Santosh are refreshing. The motif of future telling toy comes out well and aids the closure. Direction is really good.
However, the most important thing, beyond all the technicalities, the spirit of filmmaking emerges as a clear winner.
