The Regression
How much will you recall ?
A Film by Sagher A. Manchanda
The Regression is a psychological thriller, a genre less explored by the likes of Indian cinema. The story delves into its protagonist’s mind like none other and brings the unexpected to light in a completely enthralling and twisted consequence. The main USP of the project is that the concept and story are unique in the real sense of the word, and are sure to garner maximum viewership and favorable reviews.
The protagonist plays two personalities in two different stories merged into one. The viewers experience this duality in two timelines of the story running in concomitance - Real & Subconscious.
No cheesy songs, flashy cars, physics-defying stunts, objectification of women, etc.
The Regression offers an intriguing storyline that leads viewers towards a completely unpredictable climax, leaving them flabbergasted as they walk out of the screens. The memory of the movie will stay with them solely because of its content.
The Regression is not just a film project. It aims to redefine how films are made and stories are told in Indian films.
It aims to put Indian cinema on the map of the world for its content, unlike the past where Indian cinema was known only for its colorful songs.
