“Diary of a Thagee” is a short horror film directed by Charlie Sen. It was nominated Best Thriller at Limelight Film Awards.
As well as more conventional composition using strings and Bansuri, I was asked to provide music built from sounds recorded during the filming (the ceremonial drums and bells) and sound design that featured the symbols that have such portent to the main character (the bird and the conch).
Here’s a link to whole film:
Roaming the city streets, Mitu, an unassuming taxi driver, keeps a dark secret: he is a Thag – one of the ancient band of thieves, whose murderous acts of plunder, were deemed deeds of reverence to the Mother Goddess. One night, on picking up a businessman, Karl, Mitu receives the deity’s call. But when his would be victim discloses a secret of his own, Mitu finds his tryst with destiny is not what he expects.
