Indian filmmaker Ravi Muppa will adapt his Oscar-qualifying short “Incognito” into a feature-length film.
The executive producers of the short, Indian auteur Anurag Kashyap (“Kennedy”) and Ranjan Singh (“Udta Punjab”) under the Flip Films banner and Nicholas Weinstock and Divya D’Souza of Invention Studios, are reuniting to produce the feature.
In “Incognito,” a lonely motel receptionist makes an extra buck by selling the hidden-cam videos of his unsuspecting guests on the internet. But when one such guest turns out to be a young girl at risk of being trafficked, he faces a crisis of conscience and a mission.
“Incognito” has been selected at more than 20 international film festivals, including the Oscar-qualifying Palm Springs Shortfest, Tirana and LA Shorts, and is a 2024 Oscar contender in the live action short film category, where candidates from India include “Nocturnal Burger” and “The Broken Table.”

Director: Amar Kaushik
Think. When was the last time you saw a film which didn’t have any superfluous moments? Not one single irrelevant scene or shot? That’s Bala, a breezy yet wounding film that comes to us in a haze of stupid pre-release controversies . This work of grit and gumption is so above the silliness that shrouds our cinema, so superior to what we generally consider a high standard in our cinema.Bala is a film of international calibre in every sense. Stylish and sleek yet utterly and proudly rooted to its Kanpur milieu.
It is the story of a prematurely balding man who discovers how to love himself and how to embrace his supposed short-coming. It takes a dark-skinned girl (played with a trademark verve and sincerity that’s becoming Bhumi Pednekar’s signature style...
