Shadowbox (Baksho Bondi) is a film that lingers in the quiet spaces of grief, masculinity, and resilience. The film follows Maya, a woman navigating the weight of love and loss, bound to a man—Sundar—who carries the invisible wounds of his past. Set against a landscape where personal battles mirror larger societal fractures. Shadowbox had its world premiere at the 75th Berlin International Film Festival (Berlinale 2025) this year, in the newly introduced ‘Perspectives’ section, which celebrates debut voices in cinema. Co-directed by Tanushree Das and Saumyananda Sahi, Shadowbox reflects their backgrounds in documentaries, blending realism with poetic storytelling. Their collaboration with Shome, whose performance anchors the film’s emotional weight, brings depth to its exploration of trauma and care.
