The Audition (2026)
A struggling actor, Nikhil Dagga , 31 stands at the brink of surrender. Broke and beaten down, he retreats to a claustrophobic Mumbai apartment where intrusive neighbors and mounting debts test his resolve. When his final chance at redemption collapses, one desperate, late-night performance becomes an unexpected act of rebellion.
