MUMBAI: Sneh, a crime thriller web-film, inspired by true events, has been launched.

Directed by Amit Malik, the film is an attempt to create quality content on varied genres. The mini-thriller, Sneh, is a gripping tale of a missing man, who happens to be a police officer. The plot focuses on the mystery of his disappearance and revolves around how his mother, wife and daughter deal with the situation. With this film, ScoopWhoop, a youth media network, has expanded its portfolio.

The film is told mostly through the man's wife Sneh’s perspective, and captures her plight of missing her husband. Broken into 5 parts, the film begins near the end of the story, and traces its steps backwards into the murky dealings of the human mind, debauchery, love, hatred and that dangerous thing called ‘desire’. Apart from an unusual approach to filmography, it’s also the film’s performance that will keep the audience at the edge of their seat.

ScoopWhoop chief content officer Sriparna Tikekar said, “There simply isn’t one genre, or one kind of story. Our goal has always been to feed our audience with the most interesting stories. And since we have never explored the dark side of story-telling, a crime thriller had to happen. With Sneh, we have experimented with the non-linear approach of execution, ensuring that the audience are gripped till the end.”

The web-film was the Official Selection at Mumbai Film Festival (MAMI) 2016. It’s fresh, bold take on compelling storytelling in the big bad world of Content Creators, has garnered it with many praises at the prestigious film festival.
