“Fursat” is Bollywood-scale short film featuring original music, stunning locations, grand sets, and impeccable choreography, shot entirely on iPhone 14 Pro. 

The story follows a young archaeologist, Nishant, who sees visions of the future through an ancient relic called the ‘Doordarshak’. Captivated by these predictions, Nishant loses his grip on the present. He ends up being late to his own engagement. Disappointed, his fiancée-to-be, Diya calls off their engagement, and a heartbroken Nishant gets even more obsessed with the future. 


One moonlit night, he sees a dire vision — a burning train, a sword-wielding gangster, and an imminent threat to Diya's life. Nishant races against time to alter this prediction, but instead makes matters worse. Nishant, however wins back Diya’s love and realises a life-altering truth. He throws the Doordarshak into a raging bonfire and sings, "The past is gone. The future doesn't matter. Today is all we have.”
