VIRAL

In today’s world, fame and success are often measured in fleeting digital numbers—likes, views, shares, and followers. VIRAL is a quiet yet piercing reflection on this reality, where class, power, and human vulnerability intersect beneath the glow of social media screens.

The screen pulses with a blue-white glare, casting long shadows over three teenage lives bound by the invisible walls of an upscale Indian home. Two girls of the privileged middle class chase the phantom rush of algorithm-blessed fame, while the domestic worker’s daughter—brimming with raw, untamed talent—watches from the silent margins. An online audition ignites a quiet fire, tearing away the veneer of modern connectivity to expose how power and class write the rules of who gets to shine and who burns in the dark.
