The End (2021)

"The End" questions the ongoing violence related to religion. The film revolves around four protagonists represented in the form of sculptures or idols who have been victims of religious intolerance and radicalization of the society. Their busts being demolished by a common man representing the mindset of a community that is aggravated and provoked by the enforcement of strict blasphemy laws and the entry of fundamentalist religious factions into national mainstream after the intervention of USSR in Afghanistan (1979). The destruction also relates to the iconoclasm perpetrated by the fundamentalists. Extremism and radicalism fortified after the emergence of Taliban and different concepts and definitions of religion perseveres in the minds of the people. Instead of fortifying the beauty that is possessed in this abstract film, "The End" brings out the ugliness. It is a grim reminder of how intolerant the society has become. The background score is based on orchestral sound to create a haunting effect. The modern composers of the atonal era are the inspiration behind the score.
