Kash
Kash (meaning:Puff) is a 2014 indie feature film directed by Souman Bose with Subholina Sen and Bose playing the lead roles.
Kashi Mehrothra, a youth in his early twenties, is heavily influenced by Ram Sen, A "proletariat" who used to make a living by selling biris (small Indian cigarettes) and within a span of few years evolved into a huge capitalist. Ram Sen preaches that "Indian cigar is the staircase to success!" Kashi thinks that if a man devoid of any formal education could do so much, he could do all this and more with a more sophisticated intoxicant, cigarettes. He fantasises of becoming the "Cigarette King" of India. He got so much into cigarettes, his friends started calling him Kash, which means a puff or a drag of smoke. This film follows his journey of trying to open a cigarette factory. However, other forces are at work. Kashi Mehrothra's melancholic life transforms into a topsy turvy journey, where his life is threatened by creatures from the super natural realm. It is a political satire and a horror.[3][4][2]
