SYNOPSIS
Our life revolves around perception of truth, in our lives
we act only on our ability to judge the truth. Truth though is a fickle thing,
paradoxically because it only occurs in absolution; rest is only our
interpretation that allows us to live in a certain subjective truth.
A techie has aligned some found footage, in chronological
order, for the perusal of Addl. Commissioner of Police, Sanket Pujari and the
rookie officer, Sameera. All three sit across the television screen to decipher
a rare case of multiple homicides caught on camera …. and this case is going to
test their fundamental perception of truth.
They witness the lives of six friends Sam, Dips, Tanya,
Patty, Nina and the camera operator Jeeves being blackmailed by a seductress,
Hera into a cocaine delivery job till the time they end up being murdered.
In the ensuing interrogation of the drug fixer, Sohail, the
viewer is taken through a plethora of half-truths and lies to discover the
absolute truth of what really transpired.

PRODUCER’S
NOTE
With Charlie Ke Chhakar Mein, I find myself on
an unfamiliar yet an exciting territory. The film premise is an investigative
thriller that truly makes a brave and a bold attempt to capture the essence of
the story and present it in a way that has rarely been seen on the big screen,
at least in India. I will go as far as saying that it is an unconventional storytelling
that delves deep into the high urban life of today’s youth who wears rose
tinted glasses and live with tainted values and fake truths. Having said this,
the story and texture isn’t about evaluating and balancing the rights and
wrongs, rather it focuses on glamourised raw deals, scandals and even sleaze.
The screenplay is a gripping drama of six characters
who live a care-free, high on booze low on responsibility life and fall into a
trap from which there is no way out.
I’m truly excited to bring such a unique
narrative with a bold theme on a road less travelled that will hopefully pave
way for more such stories and add to the already evolving and maturing Indian
cinema.
