Drishyam Films’ digital wing ‘D2 Films’ has made its foray into the OTT space with their latest short film ‘Recommende­d For You’ that now streams on ‘Amazon miniTV’. Directed by Shamik Sen Gupta and starring Ayush Mehra, the thriller follows the dystopian story of a young man who, while randomly watching online videos at home, gets entangled in a dangerous game resulting in a life-changing experience.

‘Recommende­d For You’ also marks Drishyam Films’ first collaborat­ion with ‘Amazon miniTV’ that can be accessed on the ‘Amazon Shopping

App’. While the banner is known for making critically acclaimed films and has previously worked on compelling short films, ‘Recommende­d For You’ will be D2’s first short film in associatio­n with a platform.

An out-of-the-box tale set in the near future, where the protagonis­t goes down a voyeuristi­c rabbit hole watching videos of ‘funny accidents’ and ‘epic fails’ only to find himself caught in the middle of one, ‘Recommende­d For You’ is unconventi­onal, imaginativ­e and entertaini­ng.

Protagonis­t Ayush Mehra, who has earlier starred in lighter, slice-of-life digital films, now ventures into a darker and more complex space with the film that promises to have the audience at the edge of their seats.

Raghav Gupta, co-producer at ‘Drishyam Films’ said, “At ‘Drishyam Films’, we have always strived to bring compelling and impactful stories that excite and intrigue audiences.

With that in mind, we started our digital arm ‘D2 Films’ with ‘Recommende­d For You’ being our first production. We are happy to partner with ‘Amazon miniTV’ that enables us a wider reach for this gem of a short film.”

D2 Films’ ‘Recommende­d For You’ also premiered on ‘Fire TV’ on July 20.
