FTII is realising Diploma Films | Angry Young Man, Suman, Murder At Monkey Hill, Eight Column Affair, Munshi Ji and many more to come..

Recently we are getting gems from the FTII's Youtube channel. They are releasing a bunch of diploma films by \[would be\] filmmakers and renown actors in it. Consider if there is anything incorrect in this post being my first one in Reddit. I think someone has posted here already about the first one in the series. Here are my 2 paisa for the five I could watch 1. [Angry Young Man](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwYch0NH9Ro&ab_channel=FTIIOfficial) : Seems almost like a combo of [Taxi Driver](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075314/) and [Henry, Portrait Of A Serial Killer](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099763/). Has too many influences from the west. There is visible style reference of [Jean Luc Godard](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000419/) and [Mrinal Sen](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0784019/). Along with a heavily bearded [Danny Denzongpa](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0219939/), we get various forms of fourth wall breaking here. And the ending is too much western 2. [Suman](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VGuDa9o1RY&ab_channel=FTIIOfficial) : Cinematography is awesome. Story seems to be a metaphor journey to womanhood \[reminds me of [The Tale Of Princes Kaguya](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2576852/), and the recent sensation [Mrs.](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27032419/)\] but let me know otherwise 3. [Murder At Monkey Hill](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lws-NsDUx00&ab_channel=FTIIOfficial) : This movie, despite was made by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, has a story like by [Sriram Raghavan](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1437189/). They did some tricks with split screen and credits. Sometimes the eccentrism feels to be the source of [Upendra](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1962192/)'s filmmaking style 4. [Eight Column Affair](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_z-L8siYgY&ab_channel=FTIIOfficial) : Even though it was from Sriram Raghavan, the production design was very much similar to [Vidhu Vinod Chopra](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0006765/) school. There is a commentary on media, mostly newspaper, and the lack of timelessness about it. With like thousand scenes shot, I feel that the editing for this was a marvellous task. There is a cool [Nana Patekar](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0007113/) cameo in it. 5. [Munshi Ji](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drBlEA7lU-o&ab_channel=FTIIOfficial) : Maybe the most fun I had of the bunch. Also a super-thin [Tom Alter](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0022758/) is there \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \* "FTII is ~~realising~~ **releasing**.." sorry for the typo
