MUMBAI: With the release of the much-anticipated Sex, Likes & Stories, gear up to witness the final showdown between reel vs reality. This 12-minute-long gripping psychological thriller of a short film is certain to leave you with the most striking question: Are you the consumer or are you getting consumed?

Directed by Keith Gomes, who is known for his peculiar taste in off-beat topics in his films, the Sex, Likes & Stories mastermind has been well-acknowledged for his previous work in the Oscar-eligible short film - Shameless. Entirely shot on iPhone, this recent release has the most promising cast, including Abhishek Banerjee, Mokshda Jailkhani, and Shruthy Menon in lead roles who are seen dealing with over-obsessing about their social media presence. Delivering a quick-paced short film, the trio radiantly put forth the ugly truth of the internet filled with complexities with a view to ignite meaningful conversations about the much-avoided social problem.

Catered to a world dominated by filters, algorithms, and insecurities, this must-watch short film is sure to keep you hooked and glued you to your seats. Sex, Likes & Stories revolves around the one most important saying #JoDikhtaHaiWoBiktaHai, in the attempt to be cherished by others one forgets their truth. The makers have subtly visualized the wild escapade and thoughtfully invoked a change.
