Halad- The Day Before The Wedding (2025)
'Halad' portrays the struggles of a family trapped in a cycle of pain and control, forced to exist under the oppressive rule of the self-proclaimed ‘king’ of their household. Despite the darkness that overshadows their lives, they are bound by familial ties and societal expectations. The film reveals their daily struggles, the internalized emotions, and the breaking point that leads to an unexpected turn of events. In a world where their actions are dictated by fear and dominance, a telepathic murder unravels the deep-seated emotions they've held for years, leading to a profound and transformative climax. The film explores themes of oppression, familial duty, and the transformative power of confronting buried emotions.
