Delhi Boom!

Synopsis

Delhi Boom! tells the unusual tale of two brothers whose lives change dramatically following an encounter with a woman named Jennifer. Acting as catalysts, subsequent events unwittingly change each brother's destiny in irreparable ways.

Set in one day on the streets of India's capital, what follows is a hard-hitting perspective of a world that comes crashing down on both brothers. Every character associated with them feels the effect of their actions until consequences come full circle by 5pm.

Written cleverly, executed hand-held and edited sleekly by debutant director Sameer Puri, English-spoken Delhi Boom! was shot using extreme wide-angle photography on the streets of Delhi.

Delhi Boom! is the first cult action film to emerge from India, with post production accomplished in Mumbai, London, and Amsterdam. An international crew - including collaborative talent from India, England, Ireland, Netherlands, China, and Australia - worked on the project to realise one vision.

Kevin and Cassandra are a married couple who have lost their only daughter Hannah in a freak car accident. They both raised her differently. Kevin had been a traditional parent, Cassandra a permissive one. While Hannah had decided to exhibit her body and mind online, she cut adrift from her father and gravitates towards her mother. Her death drove a wedge between them. Their lounge becomes a battlefield where incendiary words and spiteful things are said. Their marriage is one where opposites no longer attract. Kevin is filled with loathing for his in-laws, his daughter’s boyfriend, himself. Cassandra wears her daughter’s favorite colours with pride and exhibits her painting on the walls. Kevin finds he is powerless in his home and Cassandra mocks the fact that it was her father who bought it. And when he finally leaves it, he leaves Cassandra forever.
