Sinner

Directed by Raksha Thapa

Sinner, a troubled man, hosts a party where his closest “friends” gather around a dining table. As the night unfolds, their conversations turn accusatory—each one confronting him with unforgivable mistakes from his past. But these companions are not friends at all; they are the living embodiments of his sins, drawn from Hindu scriptures: Abhimaan (Pride), Irsha (Jealousy), Trishna (Desire), Kama (Lust), and Aakrosh (Anger). One by one, the sins expose his guilt, contradictions, and failures, each story clashing with the other. As the voices grow louder and the night spirals into chaos, Sinner’s grip on reality fractures. What begins as a gathering becomes a hallucinatory trial of his own soul, forcing him to face the demons within that he can no longer suppress.
