The 12-minute psychological suspense film presents the query, “In the world of social media, are you the consumer, or are you getting consumed?”

The movie is directed by Ribhu Dasgupta, best known for his work on “Teen,” and features legendary Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan in the lead role.
Expressing his excitement about joining the film and working with Mr Bachchan, Abhishek said: “‘Section 84’ is my moment of Eklavya meeting Dronacharya. When I knew nothing about acting, I only knew one name, AMITABH BACHCHAN. From a boy who’s hypnotised by him to actually getting the opportunity to stand alongside him in one frame, life has truly completed a circle for me.”
Going back to the short film, we all know that everything in excess is bad, therefore everything—including alcohol, food, and social media—should be consumed and used in proportion. A good tool, like Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook, can quickly become problematic for you due to overuse, and it doesn’t take long for someone to become entangled in the complexity and fixation of social media.
