Mumbai: Ahvaan Kumar recently joined Qaseem Haider Qaseem for the 15th episode of Life Lessons. He spoke about his short film Bandra Boy, which looks at how a person can get caught in a situation where people believe what they hear without knowing what really happened.
The film starts with a rave bust, but things take a different turn as the media, police and powerful people get involved. As different versions of the incident come out, the truth gets pushed aside. Bandra Boy looks at how someone's life can change when a story is told in a way that turns people against them.

Bandra Boy looks at how someone's life can change when a story is told in a way that turns people against them.
The film raises a question about how easily people form opinions. Once a story starts spreading, it can be difficult for the person at its centre to explain what actually happened. This is the issue Ahvaan explores through Bandra Boy, which has received international recognition.
Ahvaan also shared a small story from his own life during the podcast. While talking about travelling to a friend's wedding, he recalled how flying felt like a celebrity experience to him because he had always travelled in second class. It was a personal moment in a conversation that also explored his work as a filmmaker.
For those who want to hear more from Ahvaan, the full episode is available on YouTube. In the 15th episode of Life Lessons, he talks to Qaseem Haider Qaseem about Bandra Boy and shares the thinking behind the film.
