New Delhi [India], December 25 (ANI / PNN): With the rise of OTT platforms, some regional cinema nuggets have managed to shine, which otherwise would not have seen the light of day.

One of those gems is the thriller-horror thriller Marathi Bali The Victim, which was released worldwide on December 9, 2021 on Amazon Prime Video. The film received praise for its original premise, brilliant screenplay, and gripping storyline.

The credit goes to its young designer and writer Swapnila Gupta, who made her film debut with Bali. She says: “It is encouraging that the public and critics have welcomed Bali with open arms. I sincerely think the supernatural / fantastic in India needs a new approach and a lot of encouragement. Bali is an original story, and it is more than just a horror. It has a human history and genuine emotions.

As Indian mainstream cinema continues to produce stereotypical remakes and insane sequels, Bali shows us how new, creative, entertaining but socially relevant ideas can change the cinematic experience.

On this question, Swapnila smiles and tells us, “Believe it or not, in the age of globalization and social media, we compete with world cinema; it’s been proven time and time again that there is no more room for the same age-old hero-centric approach. It’s the age of content and talent.

She further adds that human emotions and moral values ​​are universal, “and if we do it right, there is no reason why the world should not be interested in our original (Indian) stories.” Through his maverick approach to the screenplay and original story, Bali with Swapnil Joshi intrigued audiences with his range of emotions and his immersive experience of suspense and thrills in the cover of supernatural elements / horror.

To develop these fresh and original ideas, Swapnila draws on her own life experiences and then processes those ideas with supernatural / fantasy elements to build the original stories. But why supernatural? Swapnila bursts out laughing and says, “Because the supernatural gives me more room to say what I want to say.”

Swapnila Gupta is a young, multi-talented writer who started her career as a radio jockey, working with Radio Mirchi, Radio City, then as a TV presenter and presenter. After a brief stint in modeling, she turned to writing.

We wish Swapnila Gupta every success and look forward to many more such cinematic stories and experiences.
