From the film's synopsis: Inspired by Kafka's ‘The Metamorphosis', a propaganda artist Bihaan traces his journey of becoming a vermin while trying to paint a nude portrait of his lover.

Exclusive: Streamer Mubi has bought global rights on Knock Knock Knock, the latest project from Loev director Sudhanshu Saria.

The unconventional pic runs at 40 minutes in length but in the days of duration agnostic platforms these things seem to matter less. The film will debut worldwide on Mubi on September 15.

While everyone understands the concept, it is in times like these we witness the true value of leaders, those unwilling to listen to scientific evidence or those welcoming the suspension of rights which will only manifest their own position of power in their respective country or dominion. It is in the light of a global crisis we may see something far more dangerous come to live, which will still be there when the virus is already gone and forgotten, which is why a movie such as Ilmaz Syed’s first feature film “Hitler Upside Down” can be interpreted as a warning reaching far beyond the borders of its director’s home country of India.

The theatrical trailer has just premiered for Arjun Kapoor’s upcoming thriller India’S Most Wanted and all we can say is it May 24th yet?
