Co-starring Sayandeep Sengupta, Dolly Singh's short film delves deeper into the nuances of modern-day relationships and love.
Terribly Tiny Talkies, one of the short-film brands by TTT, has recently released its brand new short film titled ‘Dream Boy’. Directed by Keyur Shah, ‘Dream Boy’ stars popular Instagram influencer, Dolly Singh, marking a collaboration with TTT for her first-ever short film, alongside Sayandeep Sengupta and digital creator Yutik Palresha (as himself). Not only are TTT's short films well-known for striking a chord with their audience, but they have also been recognized as well as won awards at several prestigious film festivals, such as Clermont Ferrand, Filmfare, Mumbai International Film Festival (MIFF), New York Indian Film Festival (NYIFF), and many more.
‘Dream Boy,’ written by Sharanya Rajgopal and Amrit Paul, is one such powerful story that packs an impactful take on a modern-day relationship; and has already garnered 800k+ views.
Anuj Gosalia, Founder & CEO of TTT said, “In all our short films, we tell slice-of-life stories that explore the depth and nuance of modern-day relationships. With ‘Dream Boy,’ we aimed to authentically uncover how relationships in today’s day and age of the Internet and social media unravel. The dynamics between the characters, played by both the talented leads, Dolly and Sayandeep, express the story splendidly, and we are so thrilled that the audience is receiving the film with as much love as we have poured into creating it.”
Here's what Dolly Singh has to say!
"Working with TTT was like a dream come true, I have seen their work for so many years and they always make something which is so feel-good and unique. I did the audition, got a callback, and flew down to Bombay. The experience was surreal working with the wonderful team & our director who was sorted with what he wanted, that was amazing for me as an actor to take from. My co-actor Sayan is a fantastic actor and he supported me to deliver my best performance. Overall the film in itself; the story it tells is beautiful. I loved how this is one of the few times we witness a boy being insecure about his girlfriend. We generally show women being the insecure ones and juggling with too many thoughts in their heads. It is refreshing to see how a man is dealing with similar feelings when his girlfriend has a crush on an internet celebrity, and the way he deals with it and wants to showcase his love for her. Shooting my very first short film with TTT was a beautiful experience, and like they always say they ‘don’t make videos they make films’. I am overwhelmed with the response we have already received on the film and I hope to work on many more projects with TTT in the future.“
To express and celebrate relationships as they come in real life, the short film casts a lens on modern relationships, the many snags that come along with them, and how one overcomes them. Through the magical chemistry between the relatable characters of Ridhima (played by Dolly Singh) and Utkarsh (played by Sayandeep Sen), the heartwarming and wholesome story seeks to connect and deeply resonate with a much wider audience.
What happens when Utkarsh finds out that his new girlfriend Ridhima has a secret crush on a boy on the Internet? Will it change him or their relationship forever?
